vb.net async code example

Example 1: do sum things after task return vb.net

using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      Thread.CurrentThread.Name = "Main";

      // Create a task and supply a user delegate by using a lambda expression.
      Task taskA = new Task( () => Console.WriteLine("Hello from taskA."));
      // Start the task.
      taskA.Start();

      // Output a message from the calling thread.
      Console.WriteLine("Hello from thread '{0}'.",
                        Thread.CurrentThread.Name);
      taskA.Wait();
   }
}
// The example displays output like the following:
//       Hello from thread 'Main'.
//       Hello from taskA.

Example 2: do sum things after task return vb.net

' Three things to note about writing an Async Function:
'  - The function has an Async modifier.
'  - Its return type is Task or Task(Of T). (See "Return Types" section.)
'  - As a matter of convention, its name ends in "Async".
Async Function AccessTheWebAsync() As Task(Of Integer)
    Using client As New HttpClient()
        ' Call and await separately.
        '  - AccessTheWebAsync can do other things while GetStringAsync is also running.
        '  - getStringTask stores the task we get from the call to GetStringAsync.
        '  - Task(Of String) means it is a task which returns a String when it is done.
        Dim getStringTask As Task(Of String) =
            client.GetStringAsync("https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet")
        ' You can do other work here that doesn't rely on the string from GetStringAsync.
        DoIndependentWork()
        ' The Await operator suspends AccessTheWebAsync.
        '  - AccessTheWebAsync does not continue until getStringTask is complete.
        '  - Meanwhile, control returns to the caller of AccessTheWebAsync.
        '  - Control resumes here when getStringTask is complete.
        '  - The Await operator then retrieves the String result from getStringTask.
        Dim urlContents As String = Await getStringTask
        ' The Return statement specifies an Integer result.
        ' A method which awaits AccessTheWebAsync receives the Length value.
        Return urlContents.Length
