WinRT BackgroundWorker type(www.lhotka.net)

submitted by rcashrcash(4149) 7 months, 13 days ago

Because .NET/SL/WP7 don’t (yet) have the async/await keywords, and WinRT doesn’t have BW, I need to come up with a solution that leaves existing code/behavior alone, and yet provides comparable behavior in WinRT. Read how one programmer resolves this issue by creating a BackgroundWorker Type.

It's an interesting chunk of code. It's not particularly useful to me, but I'm not doing any WinRT programming yet either.
Given the simplicity of the code, it makes me wonder why Microsoft didn't include more stopgaps like this themselves? Perhaps they didn't want the burden of maintaining these workarounds themselves...
