I'm trying to consume a C# library in F#. The library makes heavy use of async/await. I want to use within an async { ... } workflow in F#.
I see we can Async.AwaitTask on async C# methods returning Task<T>, but what about those returning plain Task?
Perhaps, is there a helper to convert these to Async<unit> or to convert Task to Task<unit> so it will work with Async.AwaitTask?

Run is basically asynchronous I/O to the CPU worker thread it just created - but the actual work you're doing is still CPU work, not asynchronous I/O. Implementing a method with the async keyword without using await raises a compiler warning. You could remove the async keyword and use "return Task.
The call to the async method starts an asynchronous task. However, because no Await operator is applied, the program continues without waiting for the task to complete. In most cases, that behavior isn't expected.
C# Language Async-Await Returning a Task without awaitThere is only one asynchronous call inside the method. The asynchronous call is at the end of the method. Catching/handling exception that may happen within the Task is not necessary.
You can use await Task. Yield(); in an asynchronous method to force the method to complete asynchronously. Insert it at beginning of your method and it will then return immediately to the caller and complete the rest of the method on another thread.
You can use ContinueWith:
let awaitTask (t: Task) = t.ContinueWith (fun t -> ()) |> Async.AwaitTask Or AwaitIAsyncResult with infinite timeout:
let awaitTask (t: Task) = t |> Async.AwaitIAsyncResult |> Async.Ignore If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
