Where Are We?
The CLR provides a variety of mechanisms to trigger the execution of method code. Each of these mechanisms allows the developer to control the exact method that will be invoked as well as the way the parameters will be specified. Some of the mechanisms assume that method invocation will be an implicit action, whereas others make method invocation explicit. To that end, the CLR allows developers to explicitly invoke methods either synchronously or asynchronously based on the desired concurrency characteristics.
