async await best practices

Question

I\'ve grasped the concept of async await and have been using it sporadically, but do have a couple questions regarding best practices.

1. is it ok to use await in

Answer 1

Good morning,

I would rather use a regular task with the TaskCreationOption set to 'LongRunning' in your first scenario than the async/await pattern. This way your whole while block would be executed in one long running task. When using await inside each while loop you would start a new task with every loop - would work, but it's maybe not so optimal ;-)

Regarding your second question, I'm sorry but I don't get your point.

Hope this helps.
