MinAsyncBridge

Miminum set of the async/await portability libraries, as well as ValueTuple and MVVM. Forked from https://github.com/OrangeCube/MinimumAsyncBridge and attempts to provide .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 support.

Usage

NuGet packages:

• MinThreadingBridge
  • contains: CancellationToken, IProgress<T>, ...
• MinAsyncBridge
  • contains: Task, Task<TResult>, TaskCompletionSource<TResult>, TaskAwaiter, ...
• MinMvvmBridge
  • contains: INotifyCollectionChanged, ObservableCollection<T>, CallerMemberNameAttribute, ...
• MinValueTupleBridge
  • contains: ValueTuple, ValueTuple<>, ...
• MinTasksExtensionsBridge
  • contains: ValueTask, ValueTaskAwaiter, ...

These packages provide:

• Back-porting implementation for .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0
• Type forwarding for .NET 4.5 or later

Known problem

The debuggability of the Task in the MinAsyncBridge is poorer than original Task. Stack trace information is lost because the back-port does not have System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo, which is impossible without runtime support.
