Getting Started with Async/Await

In this section you see the Async pattern with an example based on retrieving information from the Internet. You will build a WPF application that downloads RSS feeds information from the Web, simulating a long-running process over a network. You first, though, create an application that works synchronously; then you see how to implement the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern described at the beginning of this chapter. Finally, you learn how things change in a third example built using the new Async and Await keywords.
