ConfigureAwait in Task Parallel Library (TPL)

Read Original

This technical article details the purpose and effect of ConfigureAwait in the .NET Task Parallel Library. It explains the default behavior of async/await to resume on the original context (e.g., UI thread) and how ConfigureAwait(false) can be used to prevent this, improving performance by keeping continuation work on thread pool threads. The article includes practical C# code examples demonstrating the impact on a UI application.
