I'm seeing an await that never seems to return. Here's the sample code:
public partial class MainWindow : Window, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private string _status;
private CancellationTokenSource _cancellationTokenSource;
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
_status = "Ready";
DataContext = this;
}
public string Status
{
get { return _status; }
set
{
_status = value;
OnPropertyChanged(nameof(Status));
}
}
private void OnStart(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Status = "Running...";
_cancellationTokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
StartProcessing();
}
private void OnStop(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
_cancellationTokenSource.Cancel();
}
private async void StartProcessing()
{
try
{
await new Task(() =>
{
Thread.Sleep(5000);
}, _cancellationTokenSource.Token);
}
catch (TaskCanceledException e)
{
Debug.WriteLine($"Expected: {e.Message}");
}
Status = "Done!";
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
What happens is OnStart gets called, it sets status to "Running...", then calls StartProcessing. Five seconds lapse, however I never see the status get set to "Done!"
If I call OnStop, then the task is cancelled and I see the "Done!" status.
I'm guessing I'm creating a task as well as the task created by async/await but it's hanging or deadlocking?
Here's the WPF XAML code:
