Async programming documentation "Process asynchronous tasks as they complete" does not mention Task.WhenEach

[TomasMalecek]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

The article shows an important common pattern. But the pattern was radically simplified in .NET 9 when the Task.WhenEach() API was added. Please, mention it in the article.

Thanks @TomasMalecek

That's a great idea.

@BillWagner I will work on it!

I finally managed to have a look at the result and I am satisfied. The article keeps informing about the older solution, which is still useful in older .NET, while pointing the users of .NET 9+ towards the simpler solution. Thanks for resolving this, both of you!
