An alternative to ConfigureAwait(false) everywhere

Pam Lahoud

In his latest blog post, Premier Developer consultant Ben Williams brings us this article on asynchronous code.


One of the general recommendations you may often read is to use ConfigureAwait(false) in library code. This is so that when the library is used, it does not block the synchronization context in use by the application (e.g. the UI thread). If the library doesn’t know anything about the app, it doesn’t depend on the application’s context and doesn’t need to run within it. This makes sense but it ends up truly meaning that you have to put ConfigureAwait(false) on every async call in your entire library. To me, that seems …excessive.
