Microsoft.VisualStudio.Threading

Async synchronization primitives, async collections, TPL and dataflow extensions. The JoinableTaskFactory allows synchronously blocking the UI thread for async work. This package is applicable to any .NET application (not just Visual Studio).

Features

  • Async versions of many threading synchronization primitives
    • AsyncAutoResetEvent
    • AsyncBarrier
    • AsyncCountdownEvent
    • AsyncManualResetEvent
    • AsyncReaderWriterLock
    • AsyncSemaphore
    • ReentrantSemaphore
  • Async versions of very common types
    • AsyncEventHandler
    • AsyncLazy<T>
    • AsyncLazyInitializer
    • AsyncLocal<T>
    • AsyncQueue<T>
  • Await extension methods
    • Await on a TaskScheduler to switch to it. Switch to a background thread with await TaskScheduler.Default;
    • Await on a Task with a timeout
    • Await on a Task with cancellation
  • JoinableTaskFactory that allows you to schedule asynchronous or synchronous work that does not deadlock with the UI thread even when the UI thread needs to synchronously block on the result.
