I use a library that has an asynchronous method called DoWork(...) that will raise a WorkDone event when the operation completes.
I would like to write a method that
I will build on ws0205's answer:
First, you indicate that you want your method "to be called with await
". You achieve this by returning a Task
.
I also think that it's better to make the following adjustments to ws0205's answer:
public Task SomeMethod() //no async, since we're not awaiting anything
{
var result = new TaskCompletionSource();
library.WorkDone += (data) =>
{
result.TrySetResult(data); //just in case
};
library.DoWork();
return result.Task; //no need to await - we're returning a Task - let the caller await (or not)
}
