Awaiting the CoreDispatcher

Read Original

This technical article discusses a common pitfall when using the CoreDispatcher to marshal UI updates in Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. It demonstrates how an asynchronous callback within `RunAsync` can cause code to continue executing on a background thread before the UI update is complete, and provides a solution using `TaskCompletionSource<T>` to properly synchronize the threads.
