i have c# windows forms application , use library not provide async-await functionality.
when press on button want work (webrequesting). while doing work dont want freeze gui.
i tried several approaches, example:
public static task<bool> loginuser(string username, string password) { return task.factory.startnew(() => { try { session = new authenticatedsession<user>(new user(username), cryptography.getmd5(password)); return true; } catch (invalidauthenticationexception) { return false; } }); } when call loginuser("foo", "bar").result gui freezes until work done (i understand not async because can't await new authenticatedsession<...
so like:
- create thread action parameter
- return value thread
- end thread
try forcing new thread (or workerthread) instead of using taskfactory.
thread t = new thread (delegate() { try { session = new authenticatedsession<user>(new user(username), cryptography.getmd5(password)); success(); //coded below } catch (invalidauthenticationexception) { fail(); } }); t.start(); your list requires return value, can call method or set state indicating return value or signal (manualreseteventslim) if want blocking, requirements state want non-blocking.
to resume execution or signal gui process done invoke method on ui thread, this:
void success() { invoke((methodinvoker) delegate { somemethodontheui(); }); } this async/callback strategy.
