Visual Basic .NET Language Task-based asynchronous pattern Using TAP with LINQ
Example
You can create an IEnumerable of Task by passing AddressOf AsyncMethod to the LINQ Select method and then start and wait all the results with Task.WhenAll
If your method has parameters matching the previous LINQ chain call, they will be automatically mapped.
Public Sub Main()
Dim tasks = Enumerable.Range(0, 100).Select(AddressOf TurnSlowlyIntegerIntoString)
Dim resultingStrings = Task.WhenAll(tasks).Result
For Each value In resultingStrings
Console.WriteLine(value)
Next
End Sub
Async Function TurnSlowlyIntegerIntoString(input As Integer) As Task(Of String)
Await Task.Delay(2000)
Return input.ToString()
End Function
To map different arguments you can replace AddressOf Method with a lambda:
Function(linqData As Integer) MyNonMatchingMethod(linqData, "Other parameter")
