Problem
What is the difference between
Can you provide some sample code to illustrate the different use cases?
Task.WaitAll() and Task.WhenAll() from the Async CTP?Can you provide some sample code to illustrate the different use cases?
Solution
Task.WaitAll blocks the current thread until everything has completed.Task.WhenAll returns a task which represents the action of waiting until everything has completed.That means that from an async method, you can use:
await Task.WhenAll(tasks);... which means your method will continue when everything's completed, but you won't tie up a thread to just hang around until that time.
