如何:使用 Task.WhenAll 扩展异步演练(C# 和 Visual Basic)

您可以使用 Task.WhenAll 方法提高演练:使用 Async 和 Await 访问 Web(C# 和 Visual Basic)中的异步解决方案的性能。 此方法异步等待多个异步操作,这些异步操作表示为任务集合。

您可能已在本演练中注意到网站下载速度有所差异。 有时,某个网站非常慢,延迟所有剩余下载。 当您运行在本演练中生成的异步解决方案时,如果您不想等待,则可以轻松地终止程序,但更好的选择是同时启动所有下载并让更快的下载继续,不必等待延迟的那些。

您可以将 Task.WhenAll 方法应用于任务集合。 WhenAll 的应用程序会返回直至集合中的每个任务完成时才完成的单个任务。 该任务显示并行运行,但未创建其他线程。 这些任务可以任意顺序完成。

重要

下面的过程介绍对 演练:使用 Async 和 Await 访问 Web(C# 和 Visual Basic) 中开发的异步应用程序的扩展。您可以通过完成此演练或从开发人员代码示例下载代码来开发应用程序。

要运行此示例,必须在你的计算机上安装 Visual Studio 2012、Visual Studio 2013、Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop、Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows 或 .NET Framework 4.5 或 4.5.1。

向您的 GetURLContentsAsync 解决方案中添加 Task.WhenAll

  1. 添加 ProcessURLAsync 方法到在 演练:使用 Async 和 Await 访问 Web(C# 和 Visual Basic) 中开发的第一个应用程序。

    • 如果您已从 Developer Code Samples(开发人员代码示例)下载了编码,请打开 AsyncWalkthrough 项目,然后将 ProcessURLAsync 添加到 MainWindow.xaml.vb 或 MainWindow.xaml.cs 文件。

    • 如果您已通过完成该演练开发代码,请将 ProcessURLAsync 添加到包含 GetURLContentsAsync 方法的应用程序。 此应用程序的 MainWindow.xaml.vb 或 MainWindow.xaml.cs 文件是“从演练完成代码示例”部分中的第一个示例。

    ProcessURLAsync 方法合并了 For Each 或原始演练中 SumPageSizesAsync 中的 foreach 循环的主体中的操作。 该方法异步下载指定网站的内容作为字节数组,然后显示并返回字节数组的长度。

    Private Async Function ProcessURLAsync(url As String) As Task(Of Integer)
    
        Dim byteArray = Await GetURLContentsAsync(url)
        DisplayResults(url, byteArray)
        Return byteArray.Length
    End Function
    
    private async Task<int> ProcessURLAsync(string url)
    {
        var byteArray = await GetURLContentsAsync(url);
        DisplayResults(url, byteArray);
        return byteArray.Length;
    }
    
  2. 注释掉或删除 For Each 或 foreach 循环(在 SumPageSizesAsync 中),如下面的代码所示。

    'Dim total = 0 
    'For Each url In urlList 
    
    '    Dim urlContents As Byte() = Await GetURLContentsAsync(url) 
    
    '    ' The previous line abbreviates the following two assignment statements. 
    
    '    ' GetURLContentsAsync returns a task. At completion, the task 
    '    ' produces a byte array. 
    '    'Dim getContentsTask As Task(Of Byte()) = GetURLContentsAsync(url) 
    '    'Dim urlContents As Byte() = Await getContentsTask 
    
    '    DisplayResults(url, urlContents) 
    
    '    ' Update the total. 
    '    total += urlContents.Length 
    'Next
    
    //var total = 0; 
    //foreach (var url in urlList) 
    //{ 
    //    byte[] urlContents = await GetURLContentsAsync(url); 
    
    //    // The previous line abbreviates the following two assignment statements. 
    //    // GetURLContentsAsync returns a Task<T>. At completion, the task 
    //    // produces a byte array. 
    //    //Task<byte[]> getContentsTask = GetURLContentsAsync(url); 
    //    //byte[] urlContents = await getContentsTask; 
    
    //    DisplayResults(url, urlContents); 
    
    //    // Update the total.           
    //    total += urlContents.Length; 
    //}
    
  3. 创建任务集合。 下面的代码定义查询,此查询在由 ToArray``1 方法执行时,创建下载每个网站内容的任务集合。 在计算该查询时,任务启动。

    在 urlList 声明后,将下列的代码添加到方法 SumPageSizesAsync 中。

    ' Create a query.  
    Dim downloadTasksQuery As IEnumerable(Of Task(Of Integer)) =
        From url In urlList Select ProcessURLAsync(url)
    
    ' Use ToArray to execute the query and start the download tasks. 
    Dim downloadTasks As Task(Of Integer)() = downloadTasksQuery.ToArray()
    
    // Create a query. 
    IEnumerable<Task<int>> downloadTasksQuery = 
        from url in urlList select ProcessURLAsync(url);
    
    // Use ToArray to execute the query and start the download tasks.
    Task<int>[] downloadTasks = downloadTasksQuery.ToArray();
    
  4. 将 Task.WhenAll 应用于任务集合,downloadTasks。 Task.WhenAll 返回当任务的集合中所有任务完成时完成的单个任务。

    在下面的示例中,Await 或 await 表达式等待完成 WhenAll 返回的单个任务。 该表达式计算为整数数组,其中每个整数都是一个下载网站的长度。 在上一步中添加的代码后,将下列的代码添加到 SumPageSizesAsync 中。

    ' Await the completion of all the running tasks. 
    Dim lengths As Integer() = Await Task.WhenAll(downloadTasks)
    
    '' The previous line is equivalent to the following two statements. 
    'Dim whenAllTask As Task(Of Integer()) = Task.WhenAll(downloadTasks) 
    'Dim lengths As Integer() = Await whenAllTask
    
    // Await the completion of all the running tasks. 
    int[] lengths = await Task.WhenAll(downloadTasks);
    
    //// The previous line is equivalent to the following two statements. 
    //Task<int[]> whenAllTask = Task.WhenAll(downloadTasks); 
    //int[] lengths = await whenAllTask;
    
  5. 最后,使用 Sum 方法来计算所有网站的总长度。 将下列行添加到 SumPageSizesAsync。

    Dim total = lengths.Sum()
    
    int total = lengths.Sum();
    

向 HttpClient.GetByteArrayAsync 解决方案中添加 Task.WhenAll

  1. 添加 ProcessURLAsync 的以下版本到在 演练:使用 Async 和 Await 访问 Web(C# 和 Visual Basic) 中开发的第二个应用程序。

    • 如果您已从 Developer Code Samples(开发人员代码示例)下载了编码,请打开 AsyncWalkthrough_HttpClient 项目,然后将 ProcessURLAsync 添加到 MainWindow.xaml.vb 或 MainWindow.xaml.cs 文件。

    • 如果您已通过完成该演练开发代码,请将 ProcessURLAsync 添加到使用 HttpClient.GetByteArrayAsync 方法的应用程序。 此应用程序的 MainWindow.xaml.vb 或 MainWindow.xaml.cs 文件是“从演练完成代码示例”部分中的第二个示例。

    ProcessURLAsync 方法合并了 For Each 或原始演练中 SumPageSizesAsync 中的 foreach 循环的主体中的操作。 该方法异步下载指定网站的内容作为字节数组,然后显示并返回字节数组的长度。

    在前面的过程中,ProcessURLAsync 方法的唯一区别是使用 HttpClient 实例,client。

    Private Async Function ProcessURLAsync(url As String, client As HttpClient) As Task(Of Integer)
    
        Dim byteArray = Await client.GetByteArrayAsync(url)
        DisplayResults(url, byteArray)
        Return byteArray.Length
    End Function
    
    async Task<int> ProcessURL(string url, HttpClient client)
    {
        byte[] byteArray = await client.GetByteArrayAsync(url);
        DisplayResults(url, byteArray);
        return byteArray.Length;
    }
    
  2. 注释掉或删除 For Each 或 foreach 循环(在 SumPageSizesAsync 中),如下面的代码所示。

    'Dim total = 0 
    'For Each url In urlList 
    '    ' GetByteArrayAsync returns a task. At completion, the task 
    '    ' produces a byte array. 
    '    Dim urlContents As Byte() = Await client.GetByteArrayAsync(url) 
    
    '    ' The following two lines can replace the previous assignment statement. 
    '    'Dim getContentsTask As Task(Of Byte()) = client.GetByteArrayAsync(url) 
    '    'Dim urlContents As Byte() = Await getContentsTask 
    
    '    DisplayResults(url, urlContents) 
    
    '    ' Update the total. 
    '    total += urlContents.Length 
    'Next
    
    //var total = 0; 
    //foreach (var url in urlList) 
    //{ 
    //    // GetByteArrayAsync returns a Task<T>. At completion, the task 
    //    // produces a byte array. 
    //    byte[] urlContent = await client.GetByteArrayAsync(url); 
    
    //    // The previous line abbreviates the following two assignment 
    //    // statements. 
    //    Task<byte[]> getContentTask = client.GetByteArrayAsync(url); 
    //    byte[] urlContent = await getContentTask; 
    
    //    DisplayResults(url, urlContent); 
    
    //    // Update the total. 
    //    total += urlContent.Length; 
    //}
    
  3. 定义查询,此查询在由 ToArray``1 方法执行时,创建下载每个网站内容的任务集合。 在计算该查询时,任务启动。

    在 client 和 urlList 声明后,将下列的代码添加到方法 SumPageSizesAsync 中。

    ' Create a query. 
    Dim downloadTasksQuery As IEnumerable(Of Task(Of Integer)) =
        From url In urlList Select ProcessURLAsync(url, client)
    
    ' Use ToArray to execute the query and start the download tasks. 
    Dim downloadTasks As Task(Of Integer)() = downloadTasksQuery.ToArray()
    
    // Create a query.
    IEnumerable<Task<int>> downloadTasksQuery = 
        from url in urlList select ProcessURL(url, client);
    
    // Use ToArray to execute the query and start the download tasks.
    Task<int>[] downloadTasks = downloadTasksQuery.ToArray();
    
  4. 下一步,将 Task.WhenAll 应用于任务集合,downloadTasks。 Task.WhenAll 返回当任务的集合中所有任务完成时完成的单个任务。

    在下面的示例中,Await 或 await 表达式等待完成 WhenAll 返回的单个任务。 完成后,Await 或 await 表达式的计算结果为整数数组,其中每个整数都是一个下载网站的长度。 在上一步中添加的代码后,将下列的代码添加到 SumPageSizesAsync 中。

    ' Await the completion of all the running tasks. 
    Dim lengths As Integer() = Await Task.WhenAll(downloadTasks)
    
    '' The previous line is equivalent to the following two statements. 
    'Dim whenAllTask As Task(Of Integer()) = Task.WhenAll(downloadTasks) 
    'Dim lengths As Integer() = Await whenAllTask
    
    // Await the completion of all the running tasks. 
    int[] lengths = await Task.WhenAll(downloadTasks);
    
    //// The previous line is equivalent to the following two statements. 
    //Task<int[]> whenAllTask = Task.WhenAll(downloadTasks); 
    //int[] lengths = await whenAllTask;
    
  5. 最后,使用 Sum 方法来获取所有网站的总长度。 将下列行添加到 SumPageSizesAsync。

    Dim total = lengths.Sum()
    
    int total = lengths.Sum();
