Async Method Execution

Asynchronous programming allows your code to wait for long-running operations like network requests or timers without freezing the entire application.

snippet.cs

csharp

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
 
public class TaskRunner {
    public async Task RunProcessAsync() {
        Console.WriteLine("Starting process...");
        // Await pauses the method without blocking the thread
        await Task.Delay(500);
        Console.WriteLine("Process completed.");
    }
}

Breakdown

public async Task RunProcessAsync()

The 'async' keyword marks the method as asynchronous, and 'Task' is the return type for operations that don't return a value.

await Task.Delay(500);

The 'await' keyword tells the program to wait for the task to finish before moving to the next line.
