    I’ve previously blogged about how to expose existing Asynchronous Programming Model (APM) implementations as Task-based methods.  This can be done manually using a TaskCompletionSource<TResult>, or it can be done using the built-in wrapper provided in TPL via the Task.Factory.FromAsync method.  By creating a Task-based ...

    Yesterday, I blogged about how you can implement a custom SynchronizationContext in order to pump the continuations used by async methods so that they may be processed on a single, dedicated thread.  I also highlighted that this is basically what UI frameworks like Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Foundation do with their message ...

    When I discuss the new async language features of C# and Visual Basic, one of the attributes I ascribe to the await keyword is that it “tries to bring you back to where you were.” For example, if you use await on the UI thread of your WPF application, the code that comes after the await completes should run back on that same UI ...

    FAQ on Task.Start
    AvatarStephen Toub - MSFTJanuary 14, 2012Jan 14, 201201/14/12
    Recently I’ve heard a number of folks asking about Task.Start, when and when not to use it, how it behaves,and so forth.  I thought I’d answer some of those questions here in an attempt to clarify and put to rest any misconceptions about what it is and what it does.1. Question: When can I use Task.Start?The Start instance ...
