For some reason, I have to simulate an asynchronous operation.
I have to admit it, I am not strong on it.
Say I have:

C#

Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");

How to convert it to asynchronous one?
IAsyncResult or BeginInvoke?
I ~~NEED~~ code.

Thank you.

And you want to do this in ... WinForms ... WPF ... ASP.NET ?

WPF, the code is already in a async/await task. I want to simulate the third party API with a few lines code.

It depends on what do you mean by "asynchronous operation". First of all, you need to understand that anything updating the UI is always synchronized with the thread of this UI, by putting it in an event queue...

You cannot easily simulate an asynchronous operation without doing it asynchronously.

Solution 1

You will have to create a container for this method, since this method is present in a .NET library itself, you cannot edit it. You can however, create a container method and apply a few things to it.

async[^] modifier is used to tell that this method is asynchronous. await[^] is used to stop the execution until an async method is executed.

Read more on this document[^]. Also read this question[^].

I don't want to use async/await. Is there a way to do it?

No without that, No!
