Have You Ever Signaled async/await Progress in These Three Ways?

Tasks have greatly simplified synchronization and data marshaling, which we can use quite effectively to transfer progress information back from the running task. There is always a ton of synchronization code at the back, but we shall never have to write that code. That is the beauty of working with .NET tasks.
But the story does not end at the basic scenario. Have you ever thought of what data can be the progress? Is that only the byte count or a percentage, or can we use some less conventional pieces of information? I will ask you to approach this video with an open mind. I will then show you how to hijack the built-in progress marshaling mechanism to inform the outer world about all kinds of events that happen during the task's execution. That will be useful, but above all - it will be fun.

👨 About Me 👨
Hi, I’m Zoran, I have more than 20 years of experience as a software developer, architect, team lead, and more. I have been programming in C# since its inception in the early 2000s. Since 2017 I have started publishing professional video courses at Pluralsight and Udemy and by this point, there are over 100 hours of the highest-quality videos you can watch on those platforms. On my KZbin channel, you can find shorter video forms focused on clarifying practical issues in coding, design, and architecture of .NET applications.❤️
