根据我的理解，async和await所做的主要事情之一是使代码易于编写和阅读-但使用它们是否等于生成后台线程来执行长时间的逻辑?
我目前正在尝试最基本的例子。我内联添加了一些注释。你能给我解释一下吗?
// I don't understand why this method must be marked as `async`.
private async void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Task<int> access = DoSomethingAsync();
// task independent stuff here
// this line is reached after the 5 seconds sleep from
// DoSomethingAsync() method. Shouldn't it be reached immediately?
int a = 1;
// from my understanding the waiting should be done here.
int x = await access;
}
async Task<int> DoSomethingAsync()
{
// is this executed on a background thread?
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
return 1;
}
除了其他答案，还有await (c#参考)
更具体地说，在包含的例子中，它解释了您的情况
下面的Windows窗体示例说明了await在
异步方法，WaitAsynchronouslyAsync。对比一下它的行为
方法使用waitsynchrontically的行为。没有等待
应用到任务的操作符，waitsynchronize同步运行
尽管在定义中使用了async修饰符，并且调用了
线程。睡在它的身体里。
private async void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Call the method that runs asynchronously.
string result = await WaitAsynchronouslyAsync();
// Call the method that runs synchronously.
//string result = await WaitSynchronously ();
// Display the result.
textBox1.Text += result;
}
// The following method runs asynchronously. The UI thread is not
// blocked during the delay. You can move or resize the Form1 window
// while Task.Delay is running.
public async Task<string> WaitAsynchronouslyAsync()
{
await Task.Delay(10000);
return "Finished";
}
// The following method runs synchronously, despite the use of async.
// You cannot move or resize the Form1 window while Thread.Sleep
// is running because the UI thread is blocked.
public async Task<string> WaitSynchronously()
{
// Add a using directive for System.Threading.
Thread.Sleep(10000);
return "Finished";
}
在一个简单的控制台程序中显示上述解释:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
TestAsyncAwaitMethods();
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");
Console.ReadLine();
}
public async static void TestAsyncAwaitMethods()
{
await LongRunningMethod();
}
public static async Task<int> LongRunningMethod()
{
Console.WriteLine("Starting Long Running method...");
await Task.Delay(5000);
Console.WriteLine("End Long Running method...");
return 1;
}
}
输出为:
Starting Long Running method...
Press any key to exit...
End Long Running method...
因此,
Main通过TestAsyncAwaitMethods启动长时间运行的方法。这立即返回，而不停止当前线程，我们立即看到'按任何键退出'消息
在此期间，LongRunningMethod一直在后台运行。一旦它完成，来自Threadpool的另一个线程拾取该上下文并显示最终消息
因此，没有线程被阻塞。
说实话，我仍然认为最好的解释是维基百科上关于未来和承诺的解释:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_and_promises
基本思想是，您拥有一个单独的异步执行任务的线程池。使用时。然而，对象承诺它将在某个时间执行操作，并在您请求时给您结果。这意味着当您请求结果并且还没有完成时，它将阻塞，否则将在线程池中执行。
从那里你可以优化事情:一些操作可以异步实现，你可以优化像文件IO和网络通信通过批处理后续请求和/或重新排序它们。我不确定这是否已经在微软的任务框架中-但如果不是，这将是我首先要添加的事情之一。
实际上，您可以在c# 4.0中实现这种未来模式。如果你想知道它到底是如何工作的，我可以推荐这个链接:http://code.google.com/p/fracture/source/browse/trunk/Squared/TaskLib/。但是，如果您自己开始使用它，您将注意到如果您想做所有很酷的事情，您确实需要语言支持——这正是微软所做的。
在更高的层次上:
1) Async关键字启用等待，这就是它所做的一切。Async关键字不会在单独的线程中运行该方法。beginf async方法同步运行，直到它命中一个耗时任务的await。
2)你可以等待一个返回Task或t类型Task的方法。你不能等待async void方法。
3)主线程遇到等待耗时任务或实际工作开始时，主线程返回到当前方法的调用方。
4)如果主线程看到一个仍在执行的任务在等待，它不会等待它，而是返回到当前方法的调用者。通过这种方式，应用程序保持响应性。
5)等待处理任务，现在将在线程池的独立线程上执行。
6)当这个await任务完成时，它下面的所有代码将由单独的线程执行
下面是示例代码。执行它并检查线程id
using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace AsyncAwaitDemo
{
class Program
{
public static async void AsynchronousOperation()
{
Console.WriteLine("Inside AsynchronousOperation Before AsyncMethod, Thread Id: " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
//Task<int> _task = AsyncMethod();
int count = await AsyncMethod();
Console.WriteLine("Inside AsynchronousOperation After AsyncMethod Before Await, Thread Id: " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
//int count = await _task;
Console.WriteLine("Inside AsynchronousOperation After AsyncMethod After Await Before DependentMethod, Thread Id: " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
DependentMethod(count);
Console.WriteLine("Inside AsynchronousOperation After AsyncMethod After Await After DependentMethod, Thread Id: " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
}
public static async Task<int> AsyncMethod()
{
Console.WriteLine("Inside AsyncMethod, Thread Id: " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
int count = 0;
await Task.Run(() =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Executing a long running task which takes 10 seconds to complete, Thread Id: " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
Thread.Sleep(20000);
count = 10;
});
Console.WriteLine("Completed AsyncMethod, Thread Id: " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
return count;
}
public static void DependentMethod(int count)
{
Console.WriteLine("Inside DependentMethod, Thread Id: " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId + ". Total count is " + count);
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Started Main method, Thread Id: " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
AsynchronousOperation();
Console.WriteLine("Completed Main method, Thread Id: " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
下面是通过打开对话框读取excel文件的代码，然后使用async和等待运行异步代码，从excel逐行读取并绑定到网格

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
lblProcessing.Text = "";
}
private async void btnReadExcel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range xlRange = xlWorksheet.UsedRange;
try
{
Task<int> longRunningTask = BindGrid(xlRange);
int result = await longRunningTask;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString());
}
finally
{
//cleanup
// GC.Collect();
//GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
//rule of thumb for releasing com objects:
// never use two dots, all COM objects must be referenced and released individually
// ex: [somthing].[something].[something] is bad
//release com objects to fully kill excel process from running in the background
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(xlRange);
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(xlWorksheet);
//close and release
xlWorkbook.Close();
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(xlWorkbook);
//quit and release
