您可以通过使用TPL(任务并行库)而不是直接使用await关键字来做到这一点。

private bool CheckInCategory(int? id, out Category category)
    {
        if (id == null || id == 0)
            category = null;
        else
            category = Task.Run(async () => await _context.Categories.FindAsync(id ?? 0)).Result;

        return category != null;
    }

if(!CheckInCategory(int? id, out var category)) return error

在异步方法中不能有ref或out参数(如前所述)。

这需要在数据移动中进行一些建模:

public class Data
{
    public int Op {get; set;}
    public int Result {get; set;}
}

public async void Method1()
{
    Data data = await GetDataTaskAsync();
    // use data.Op and data.Result from here on
}

public async Task<Data> GetDataTaskAsync()
{
    var returnValue = new Data();
    // Fill up returnValue
    return returnValue;
}

您获得了更容易重用代码的能力，而且它比变量或元组更具可读性。

你不能有带ref或out参数的异步方法。

Lucian Wischik解释了为什么这是不可能的MSDN线程:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d2f48a52-e35a-4948-844d-828a1a6deb74/why-async-methods-cannot-have-ref-or-out-parameters

As for why async methods don't support out-by-reference parameters? (or ref parameters?) That's a limitation of the CLR. We chose to implement async methods in a similar way to iterator methods -- i.e. through the compiler transforming the method into a state-machine-object. The CLR has no safe way to store the address of an "out parameter" or "reference parameter" as a field of an object. The only way to have supported out-by-reference parameters would be if the async feature were done by a low-level CLR rewrite instead of a compiler-rewrite. We examined that approach, and it had a lot going for it, but it would ultimately have been so costly that it'd never have happened.

对于这种情况，一个典型的解决方法是让async方法返回一个元组。 你可以像这样重写你的方法:

public async Task Method1()
{
    var tuple = await GetDataTaskAsync();
    int op = tuple.Item1;
    int result = tuple.Item2;
}

public async Task<Tuple<int, int>> GetDataTaskAsync()
{
    //...
    return new Tuple<int, int>(1, 2);
}

我认为像这样使用ValueTuples是可行的。你必须先添加ValueTuple NuGet包:

public async void Method1()
{
    (int op, int result) tuple = await GetDataTaskAsync();
    int op = tuple.op;
    int result = tuple.result;
}

public async Task<(int op, int result)> GetDataTaskAsync()
{
    int x = 5;
    int y = 10;
    return (op: x, result: y):
}

模式匹配来拯救!c# 9(我认为)之后:

// example of a method that would traditionally would use an out parameter
public async Task<(bool success, int? value)> TryGetAsync()
{
    int? value = // get it from somewhere
    
    return (value.HasValue, value);
}

像这样使用它:

if (await TryGetAsync() is (true, int value))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"This is the value: {value}");
}

out形参的一个很好的特性是，即使函数抛出异常，也可以使用它们返回数据。我认为与异步方法最接近的等效方法是使用一个新对象来保存异步方法和调用者都可以引用的数据。另一种方法是在另一个答案中传递一个委托。

请注意，这两种技术都不具有编译器所具有的任何类型的强制。也就是说，编译器不会要求你在共享对象上设置值或调用传入委托。

下面是一个使用共享对象模拟ref和out的示例实现，用于async方法和其他各种ref和out不可用的场景:

class Ref<T>
{
    // Field rather than a property to support passing to functions
    // accepting `ref T` or `out T`.
    public T Value;
}

async Task OperationExampleAsync(Ref<int> successfulLoopsRef)
{
    var things = new[] { 0, 1, 2, };
    var i = 0;
    while (true)
    {
        // Fourth iteration will throw an exception, but we will still have
        // communicated data back to the caller via successfulLoopsRef.
        things[i] += i;
        successfulLoopsRef.Value++;
        i++;
    }
}

async Task UsageExample()
{
    var successCounterRef = new Ref<int>();
    // Note that it does not make sense to access successCounterRef
    // until OperationExampleAsync completes (either fails or succeeds)
    // because there’s no synchronization. Here, I think of passing
    // the variable as “temporarily giving ownership” of the referenced
    // object to OperationExampleAsync. Deciding on conventions is up to
    // you and belongs in documentation ^^.
    try
    {
        await OperationExampleAsync(successCounterRef);
    }
    finally
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Had {successCounterRef.Value} successful loops.");
    }
}
