Keep Your C# Application Smooth using Asynchronous Programming with Async/Await 

Great suggestion!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Good idea. I'll get that on my list

Excellent point 👍

You are welcome!

My pleasure!

Concept would be basically the same. You use the async keyword in the signature of any method or function you wish to make asynchronous, and then you can await the code from another async method or function

Might look at this in future when I revisit c++ 👍

I quickly made something for you: *************************************************************************************************** Per MS Documentation: The await operator suspends evaluation of the enclosing async method until the asynchronous operation represented by its operand completes. The await operator doesn't block the thread that evaluates the async method. When the await operator suspends the enclosing async method, the control returns to the caller of the method. *************************************************************************************************** */ internal class Program { public static async Task DoStuffAsync() { for (int i = 1; i < 6; i++) Console.WriteLine(i); await Task.Delay(2000); return "Done: DoStuffAsync"; } static async Task Main(string[] args) { Task DoStuffTask = DoStuffAsync(); Console.WriteLine("Hehe, lemme sneak in here :)"); await DoStuffTask; Console.WriteLine(DoStuffTask.Result); } }

Usually, the using in the manner is to provide automatic disposal of the object that is created. As Nick says here, the purists might argue about its use here, but the idea of disposal of objects is to avoid memory leaks. 😀

It closes the connection (security issue) in this case and marks used resources for cleanup (the system decides when to do that exactly). Using this is a good habit and often indispensable in serious code. Is also used, for example when addressing databases. Very important and good habit!

@@angel_macharielMuch appreciated, I was starting to code back then and now I 've seen it more, do you know any youtube vide that goes through this topic more in depth? Thanks again

The using statement is nicely explained on the Microsoft website "using statement - ensure the correct use of disposable objects".' It's not some rocket science to solve, it's more about getting used to it.
