Advertisements. The term 'Lambda expression' has derived its name from 'lambda' calculus which in turn is a mathematical notation applied for defining functions. Lambda expressions as a LINQ equation's executable part translate logic in a way at run time so it can pass on to the data source conveniently.
An async method runs synchronously until it reaches its first await expression, at which point the method is suspended until the awaited task is complete. In the meantime, control returns to the caller of the method, as the example in the next section shows.
The expression num => num * 5 is a lambda expression. The => operator is called the "lambda operator". In this example, num is an input parameter to the anonymous function, and the return value of this function is num * 5 . So when multiplyByFive is called with a parameter of 7 , the result is 7 * 5 , or 35 .
To mark a lambda async, simply prepend async before its argument list:
// Add a command to delete the current Group
contextMenu.Commands.Add(new UICommand("Delete this Group", async (contextMenuCmd) =>
{
SQLiteUtils slu = new SQLiteUtils();
await slu.DeleteGroupAsync(groupName);
}));
And for those of you using an anonymous expression:
await Task.Run(async () =>
{
SQLLiteUtils slu = new SQLiteUtils();
await slu.DeleteGroupAsync(groupname);
});
