await Task.WhenAll(task1, task2); task1.Result; task2.Result #65
Comments
I've always had this doubt var task1 = service.GetAsync1();
var task2 = service.GetAsync2();
await Task.WhenAll(task1, task2);
var result1 = await task1;
var result2 = await task2; It would be as fast as first due to |
Accessing .Result would be faster after the task has completed. awaiting the task is more idiomatic but results in a bigger state machine with more states (one for each await point in the method). VS |
So @davidfowl, would would recommend the first version? var task1 = service.GetAsync1();
var task2 = service.GetAsync2();
await Task.WhenAll(task1, task2);
var result1 = task1.Result;
var result2 = task2.Result; |
I think another aspect to consider in picking one solution over the other is how do you want to handle exceptions, in particular on how you want to handle the scenario when only some tasks are failing. |
Based on feedbacks, conclusion is that first version var task1 = service.GetAsync1();
var task2 = service.GetAsync2();
await Task.WhenAll(task1, task2);
var result1 = task1.Result;
var result2 = task2.Result; have quite more performance than second version. But second version var task1 = service.GetAsync1();
var task2 = service.GetAsync2();
var result1 = await task1;
var result2 = await task2; is more idiomatic. Thanks for precision, it's enough to restart debate with my coworkers. |
I've got enough feedback for me. Ticket can be close IMO. I let other people close this one, as some questions are pending. If there is no more activities several days, I'll close myself. Thanks |
A third version was introduced by @jjavierdguezas mid conversation and it isn't completely clear to me who is talking about which...

Wihout any update, I close this issue. |
@andleer that's even more awaits 😄 so it's not as efficient. |
@davidfowl agree that it is even more awaits but you used that scenario in your 2nd sharplap.io / codegen example. I realize it was most likely unintentional but I wonder if the inclusion impacts your comment earlier in this thread. Either way, I will take idiomatic over minimal performance differences. Thanks for all the contributions here! |
Hello,
Very great list of best practices. It guides me and coworkers about multiple async await usage.
But there is 1 question where people disagree.
Regarding the following code
We agree that starting the 2 first tasks before waiting any result is good. But we disagree how to get the result.
By following best practices to get the value using await on each tasks is imo safer. But I do not have much arguments about it. I prefer the following version. It's more readable. But I miss some knowledge about performance and safety.
What is your mind ? What are the best version regarding safety, performance, readability ?
