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;
}
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();
}
}
}
当使用async和await时，编译器在后台生成一个状态机。
下面是一个例子，我希望我能解释一些正在发生的高级细节:
public async Task MyMethodAsync()
{
Task<int> longRunningTask = LongRunningOperationAsync();
// independent work which doesn't need the result of LongRunningOperationAsync can be done here
//and now we call await on the task
int result = await longRunningTask;
//use the result
Console.WriteLine(result);
}
public async Task<int> LongRunningOperationAsync() // assume we return an int from this long running operation
{
await Task.Delay(1000); // 1 second delay
return 1;
}
好的，这里发生了什么:
Task<int> longRunningTask = LongRunningOperationAsync();开始执行LongRunningOperation
独立的工作完成了，假设主线程(线程ID = 1)，然后等待longRunningTask到达。
现在，如果longRunningTask还没有完成，它仍在运行，MyMethodAsync()将返回到它的调用方法，因此主线程不会被阻塞。当longRunningTask完成时，来自ThreadPool的线程(可以是任何线程)将返回到MyMethodAsync()之前的上下文中并继续执行(在这种情况下将结果打印到控制台)。
第二种情况是longRunningTask已经完成执行，结果可用。当到达await longRunningTask时，我们已经有了结果，所以代码将继续在同一线程上执行。(在本例中将结果打印到控制台)。当然，对于上面的例子，情况并非如此，其中涉及到Task.Delay(1000)。
