Helper methods for dealing with asynchronous processes.
Usage Examples
ObjectUpdate
Asynchronously update properties of a class using ObjectUpdate
//Fill the Name and Address property using async tasks
Person person = new();
//AsyncIntString helper class is used for int and string types since they can't otherwise be gotten asynchronously like this
AsyncIntString personPhotoLocation = new();
person.Id = 1;
List<Task> tasks =
[
person.ObjectUpdate(nameof(Person.Name), GetPersonNameByIdAsync(person.Id)), //Fills person.Name with results of GetPersonNameByIdAsync(person.Id)
person.ObjectUpdate(nameof(Person.Address), GetPersonAddressByIdAsync(person.Id)), //Fills person.Address with results of GetPersonAddressByIdAsync(person.Id)
personPhotoLocation.ObjectUpdate(nameof(AsyncIntString.AsyncString), GetPersonPhotoLocationById(person.Id)) //Fills personPhotoLocation.AsyncString with the results of GetPersonPhotoLocationById(person.Id)
]
await Task.WhenAll(tasks);
ObjectFill
Object fill can be used to asynchronously fill classes and lists with.
Person person = new();
ConcurrentBag<Person> people = [];
List<Task> tasks =
[
person.ObjectUpdate(GetPersonById(1)), //person is filled by results of GetPersonById(1) which returns type Person
//people is filled by the results of all three calls to GetPeopleByState additively (all results will be present in people)
people.ObjectUpdate(GetPeopleByState("Ohio")),
people.ObjectUpdate(GetPeopleByState("California")),
people.ObjectUpdate(GetPeopleByState("Texas"))
]
await Task.WhenAll(tasks);
Collections
Collections Usage Examples
Helper methods that work with collections such as IEnumerable, List, IDictionary, ConcurrentBag, and DataTable
Usage Examples
AnyFast
Used to address issue CA1860 where it suggests using .Count for performance in an easier to type extension method
bool x = collection?.Any() == true;
//Or
collection?.Count > 0;
//Becomes
bool x = collection.AnyFast();
AddDictionaryItem & AddDictionaryItems
Used to directly TryAdd a KeyValuePair object(s) to a dictionary
