• when to use pascal case (FirstName) or prefix underscore camel case (_firstName) when declaring an attirbutes inside class?

  There is also an official MS analyzer for Async code, it has rules like avoid async void, don't use synchronous .Wait() or .Result etc. One of them is to use Async suffix, as per guidelines.

• Implementing an Async Mutex
  1 project | /r/csharp | 3 Nov 2022

  Any idea how this compares to what Visual Studio is doing: https://github.com/microsoft/vs-threading/blob/main/src/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Threading/AsyncSemaphore.cs

• Is there a way to force an `async` computation / `MailboxProcessor` to use a unique thread?
  1 project | /r/fsharp | 31 Oct 2022

  Searching for SingleThreadedSynchronizationContext led me to Microsoft.VisualStudio.Threading. Is this library only intended for use with Visual Studio or is it also useful for working with other native and COM applications?

• What NuGet packages do you automatically add
  1 project | /r/csharp | 16 Jun 2022

  It looks like 2 of them, ya (although personally I'm on .NET Framework to minimize dependency file sizes). But there are many others, from catching async void (https://github.com/microsoft/vs-threading/blob/main/doc/analyzers/index.md ), to catching unsealed classes (small performance benefits, so why not), etc.

• How would you fix this sync-over-async code?
  2 projects | /r/dotnet | 22 Apr 2022

  Take a look at the JoinableTaskFactory in this library: https://github.com/microsoft/vs-threading

• Reentrant (Recursive) Async Lock is Impossible in C#
  2 projects | /r/dotnet | 20 Dec 2021
• Prevent deadlock while calling async method inside synchronous one (inside environment with synchronization context)
  2 projects | /r/dotnet | 19 Oct 2021

  I'd recommend a look at https://github.com/microsoft/vs-threading (don't worry about the name, you can use it outside of VS environment too).

• C# Async fire and forget with error handling
  1 project | /r/csharp | 18 Feb 2021

  All these concerns, and more, are why we in the Visual Studio team wrote the vs-threading library and its JoinableTaskFactory. We have a doc section on fire and forget and shutdown concerns just like you were asking about. If you follow the guidance, the way to wait on outstanding tasks at shutdown is as simple as:
