Awaiting multiple Tasks with different results in C#

Awaiting multiple Tasks with different results in C#

In C#, you can await multiple Task instances that have different results using the Task.WhenAll method.

The Task.WhenAll method takes an array of Task objects and returns a new Task that completes when all the provided tasks have completed. The result of the Task returned by Task.WhenAll is an array of the results of each completed task in the same order as the original array.

Here is an example that demonstrates how to await multiple tasks with different results using Task.WhenAll:

public async Task<int[]> GetMultipleResultsAsync()
{
    var task1 = LongRunningTaskAsync(1);
    var task2 = LongRunningTaskAsync(2);
    var task3 = LongRunningTaskAsync(3);

    // Await all three tasks using Task.WhenAll.
    var results = await Task.WhenAll(task1, task2, task3);

    // Return the results as an array.
    return results;
}

public async Task<int> LongRunningTaskAsync(int input)
{
    // Simulate a long-running task asynchronously.
    await Task.Delay(1000);

    return input * 2;
}

In this example, the GetMultipleResultsAsync method creates three Task instances using the LongRunningTaskAsync method, each with a different input value. The Task.WhenAll method is then used to await all three tasks simultaneously.

After all three tasks have completed, the GetMultipleResultsAsync method returns an array of the results of each task.

Note that Task.WhenAll will complete as soon as all tasks have completed, regardless of whether any of the tasks completed with an error. If you need to ensure that all tasks complete successfully before continuing, you can use the Task.WhenAll method in combination with the await keyword, like this:

try
{
    // Await all tasks and ensure they all complete successfully.
    await Task.WhenAll(task1, task2, task3);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // Handle any exceptions that occurred during the tasks.
}
