Creare attività precalcolate
In questo articolo viene descritto come utilizzare il metodo Task.FromResult per recuperare i risultati di operazioni di download asincrone contenute in una cache. Tramite il metodo FromResult viene restituito un oggetto Task<TResult> finito contenente il valore fornito come relativa proprietà Result. Questo metodo è utile quando si esegue un'operazione asincrona che restituisce un oggetto Task<TResult> e il risultato di tale oggetto Task<TResult> è già calcolato.
Esempio
Nell'esempio seguente vengono scaricate stringhe dal Web. Viene definito il metodo DownloadStringAsync. Tramite questo metodo vengono scaricate stringhe dal Web in modo asincrono. In questo esempio viene inoltre utilizzato un oggetto ConcurrentDictionary<TKey,TValue> per memorizzare nella cache i risultati di operazioni precedenti. Se l'indirizzo di input viene mantenuto in questa cache, in DownloadStringAsync viene utilizzato il metodo FromResult per produrre un oggetto Task<TResult> con il contenuto in corrispondenza dell'indirizzo in questione. In caso contrario, tramite DownloadStringAsync viene scaricato il file dal Web e viene aggiunto il risultato alla cache.

Nell'esempio precedente, la prima volta che viene scaricato ogni URL, il relativo valore viene archiviato nella cache. Il metodo FromResult consente al metodo DownloadStringAsync di creare oggetti di Task<TResult> contenenti questi risultati precalcolati. Le chiamate successive per scaricare la stringa restituiscono i valori memorizzati nella cache e l’operazione è molto più veloce.
