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;
}

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?

这里所有的答案都使用Task.Delay()或其他内置的异步函数。但下面是我的例子,没有使用这些async函数:

// Starts counting to a large number and then immediately displays message "I'm counting...". 
// Then it waits for task to finish and displays "finished, press any key".
static void asyncTest ()
{
    Console.WriteLine("Started asyncTest()");
    Task<long> task = asyncTest_count();
    Console.WriteLine("Started counting, please wait...");
    task.Wait(); // if you comment this line you will see that message "Finished counting" will be displayed before we actually finished counting.
    //Console.WriteLine("Finished counting to " + task.Result.ToString()); // using task.Result seems to also call task.Wait().
    Console.WriteLine("Finished counting.");
    Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit program.");
    Console.ReadLine();
}

static async Task<long> asyncTest_count()
{
    long k = 0;
    Console.WriteLine("Started asyncTest_count()");
    await Task.Run(() =>
    {
        long countTo = 100000000;
        int prevPercentDone = -1;
        for (long i = 0; i <= countTo; i++)
        {
            int percentDone = (int)(100 * (i / (double)countTo));
            if (percentDone != prevPercentDone)
            {
                prevPercentDone = percentDone;
                Console.Write(percentDone.ToString() + "% ");
            }

            k = i;
        }
    });
    Console.WriteLine("");
    Console.WriteLine("Finished asyncTest_count()");
    return k;
}

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。

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";
}
