Async and Await in C#

Use async and await with Task to write asynchronous, non-blocking code. This keeps your apps responsive during heavy operations like network calls.

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

class Program {
    static async Task Main() {
        string data = await FetchDataAsync();
        Console.WriteLine(data);
    }

    static async Task<string> FetchDataAsync() {
        await Task.Delay(100);
        return "clouds loaded";
    }
}

How it reads

• async Task defines an asynchronous method returning a Task object
• await pauses execution of the current method without blocking

Cloud tip: Asynchronous methods should always end with the suffix 'Async' by convention.
