Agenda slide
WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS TALK
TOPICS WHAT YOU’LL LEAVE WITH
• ASP.NET developers, including Web Forms & MVC
• History of async programming in .NET
• How async works in ASP.NET
• Using async in ASP.NET apps
• How to use async programming in ASP.NET to increase scalability, improve page response time and implement long running requests
• The Task Parallel Library (TPL) and async/await support in in C# and .NET 4.5 makes programming async much easier than traditional APM
• ASP.NET 4.5, including the core framework, Web Forms and MVC, has great support for working with the TPL and async/await
A brief history of async programming in .NET

Three async programming models
Asynchronous Programming
Model(APM)
Evented Asynchronous Programming
(EAP)
Task-based Asynchronous Programming
(TAP)
// .NET 1 model
file.BeginRead(buffer, 0, maxLength, asyncResult => {
int numBytesRead = file.EndRead(asyncResult); // Now do something with "buffer“
}, null);
Asynchronous Programming Model (APM)Asynchronous Programming Model (APM)
// .NET 2 model
webClient.DownloadStringCompleted += (sender, args) => {
string html = args.Result; // Now do something with "html"
};webClient.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("http://example.com"));
Event-based Asynchronous Programming (EAP)
Task<string> htmlTask = webClient.DownloadStringTaskAsync(url);
htmlTask.ContinueWith(task => { string html = task.Result; // Async, C# 4});
string html = htmlTask.Result; // Sync (block until done)
string html = await htmlTask; // Async, C# 5
Task-based Asynchronous Programming (TAP)
public async Task<ViewResult> MyMethod(){ string myParam = "some value"; var data = await FetchSomeData(myParam); return View(data);} 2

public Task<ViewResult> MyMethod(){ string myParam = "some value"; return FetchSomeData(myParam).ContinueWith(task => { var data = task.Result; return View(data); });}

Using async for benefit in ASP.NET apps. Easy as 1, 3, 2
So can I just use async everywhere in my ASP.NET app? No!
There are three (3) distinct scenarios where async in ASP.NET apps might be useful…
