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;
}

查看这个小提琴https://dotnetfiddle.net/VhZdLU(如果可能的话改进它),运行一个简单的控制台应用程序,在同一个程序中显示Task, Task. waitall (), async和await操作符的用法。

这个小提琴应该清楚你的执行周期的概念。

下面是示例代码

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {               
        var a = MyMethodAsync(); //Task started for Execution and immediately goes to Line 19 of the code. Cursor will come back as soon as await operator is met       
        Console.WriteLine("Cursor Moved to Next Line Without Waiting for MyMethodAsync() completion");
        Console.WriteLine("Now Waiting for Task to be Finished");       
        Task.WaitAll(a); //Now Waiting      
        Console.WriteLine("Exiting CommandLine");       
    }

    public static async Task MyMethodAsync()
    {
        Task<int> longRunningTask = LongRunningOperation();
        // independent work which doesn't need the result of LongRunningOperationAsync can be done here
        Console.WriteLine("Independent Works of now executes in MyMethodAsync()");
        //and now we call await on the task 
        int result = await longRunningTask;
        //use the result 
        Console.WriteLine("Result of LongRunningOperation() is " + result);
    }

    public static async Task<int> LongRunningOperation() // assume we return an int from this long running operation 
    {
        Console.WriteLine("LongRunningOperation() Started");
        await Task.Delay(2000); // 2 second delay
        Console.WriteLine("LongRunningOperation() Finished after 2 Seconds");
        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?

这里的答案可以作为await/async的一般指导。它们还包含一些关于await/async如何连接的细节。我想和大家分享一些在使用这个设计模式之前应该知道的实践经验。

术语“await”是字面意义上的,所以无论您在哪个线程上调用它,都将在继续之前等待该方法的结果。在前台线程上,这是一个灾难。前台线程承担了构建应用程序的负担,包括视图、视图模型、初始动画,以及其他任何与这些元素捆绑在一起的东西。所以当你等待前台线程时,你会停止应用程序。当什么都没有发生时,用户会一直等待。这提供了一种消极的用户体验。

你当然可以使用各种方法来等待后台线程:

Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(async () => { await AnyAwaitableMethod(); });

// Notice that we do not await the following call, 
// as that would tie it to the foreground thread.
try
{
Task.Run(async () => { await AnyAwaitableMethod(); });
}
catch
{}

这个答案旨在提供一些特定于ASP.NET的信息。

通过在MVC控制器中使用async/await,可以提高线程池的利用率,并实现更好的吞吐量,如下文所述。

在web应用程序中看到大量的并发请求 启动或有突发负载(并发性突然增加), 使这些web服务调用异步将增加 应用程序的响应性。异步请求采用 处理同步请求所需的时间相同。例如, 如果一个请求进行了web服务调用,需要两秒钟才能完成 完成后,无论执行与否,请求都需要两秒钟 同步或异步。然而,在异步调用期间, 线程在运行时不会阻塞对其他请求的响应 等待第一个请求完成。因此,异步 请求阻止了请求队列和线程池的增长 调用长时间运行的操作的许多并发请求。

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";
}
