异步/等待

实际上，Async / Await是一对关键字，它们只是用于创建异步任务回调的语法糖。

举个例子:

public static void DoSomeWork()
{
    var task = Task.Run(() =>
    {
        // [RUNS ON WORKER THREAD]

        // IS NOT bubbling up due to the different threads
        throw new Exception();
        Thread.Sleep(2000);

        return "Hello";
    });

    // This is the callback
    task.ContinueWith((t) => {
        // -> Exception is swallowed silently
        Console.WriteLine("Completed");

        // [RUNS ON WORKER THREAD]
    });
}

上面的代码有几个缺点。错误不会传递，而且很难阅读。 但是Async和Await来帮助我们:

public async static void DoSomeWork()
{
    var result = await Task.Run(() =>
    {
        // [RUNS ON WORKER THREAD]

        // IS bubbling up
        throw new Exception();
        Thread.Sleep(2000);

        return "Hello";
    });

    // every thing below is a callback 
    // (including the calling methods)

    Console.WriteLine("Completed");
}

Await调用必须在Async方法中。这有一些优点:

返回Task的结果 自动创建回调 检查错误并让它们在callstack中冒泡(只适用于callstack中的无等待调用) 等待结果 释放主线程 在主线程上运行回调 使用线程池中的工作线程执行任务 使代码易于阅读 还有更多

注意:Async和Await用于异步调用时不做这些。为此必须使用任务库，如Task. run()。

下面是等待和无等待解决方案之间的比较

这是一个非异步解决方案:

public static long DoTask()
{
    stopWatch.Reset();
    stopWatch.Start();

    // [RUNS ON MAIN THREAD]
    var task = Task.Run(() => {
        Thread.Sleep(2000);
        // [RUNS ON WORKER THREAD]
    });
    // goes directly further
    // WITHOUT waiting until the task is finished

    // [RUNS ON MAIN THREAD]

    stopWatch.Stop();
    // 50 milliseconds
    return stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds;
}

这是async方法:

public async static Task<long> DoAwaitTask()
{
    stopWatch.Reset();
    stopWatch.Start();

    // [RUNS ON MAIN THREAD]

    await Task.Run(() => {
        Thread.Sleep(2000);
        // [RUNS ON WORKER THREAD]
    });
    // Waits until task is finished

    // [RUNS ON MAIN THREAD]

    stopWatch.Stop();
    // 2050 milliseconds
    return stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds;
}

实际上，你可以不使用await关键字而调用async方法，但这意味着这里的任何异常都会在释放模式下被吞噬:

public static Stopwatch stopWatch { get; } = new Stopwatch();

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.WriteLine("DoAwaitTask: " + DoAwaitTask().Result + " ms");
    // 2050 (2000 more because of the await)
    Console.WriteLine("DoTask: " + DoTask() + " ms");
    // 50
    Console.ReadKey();
}

Async和Await并不用于并行计算。它们用于不阻塞主线程。当涉及asp.net或Windows应用程序时，由于网络调用阻塞主线程是一件糟糕的事情。如果你这样做，你的应用程序将得不到响应，甚至崩溃。

查看微软文档以获得更多的例子。

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
    string result = DownloadContentAsync().Result;
    Console.ReadKey();
}

// You use the async keyword to mark a method for asynchronous operations.
// The "async" modifier simply starts synchronously the current thread. 
// What it does is enable the method to be split into multiple pieces.
// The boundaries of these pieces are marked with the await keyword.
public static async Task<string> DownloadContentAsync()// By convention, the method name ends with "Async
{
    using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
    {
        // When you use the await keyword, the compiler generates the code that checks if the asynchronous operation is finished.
        // If it is already finished, the method continues to run synchronously.
        // If not completed, the state machine will connect a continuation method that must be executed WHEN the Task is completed.


        // Http request example. 
        // (In this example I can set the milliseconds after "sleep=")
        String result = await client.GetStringAsync("http://httpstat.us/200?sleep=1000");

        Console.WriteLine(result);

        // After completing the result response, the state machine will continue to synchronously execute the other processes.


        return result;
    }
}

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";
}

也许我的见解是相关的。Async告诉编译器要特别对待一个函数，这个函数是可挂起/可恢复的，它以某种方式保存状态。Await暂停了一个功能，但也是一种执行纪律的方式，是限制性的;你需要指定你在等待什么，你不能无故挂起，这使得代码更有可读性，也许也更有效率。这就引出了另一个问题。为什么不等待多件事，为什么一次只等待一件事?我相信这是因为这样的模式已经建立起来了，而程序员们遵循的是最小惊讶的原则。这里存在着模棱两可的可能性:您是满足其中一个条件，还是希望所有条件都得到满足，也许只是其中一些?

使用它们是否等同于生成后台线程来执行长时间的任务 时间逻辑?

这篇文章MDSN:异步编程与async和await (c#)明确解释:

async和await关键字不会引起额外的线程 创建。异步方法不需要多线程，因为Async 方法不在自己的线程上运行。该方法在电流上运行 对象时，才在线程上使用时间 方法是活动的。
