I want to write an asynchronous Controller that is displaying in output an IEnumerable<IEnumerable<Video>>
I don't know I can manage to write correctly my function Task<IEnumerable<IEnumerable<Video>>> GetVideosAsync(xxxxx)
especially the Task.ContinueWhenAll function
(in order not to have blocking code ).
Is it better to use a lambda for this piece of code ...?
- Can someone help me ?
Nb: *I can only use C#4 and visual Studio 2010
public class HomeController : AsyncController
{
string[] sources = {
"http://xxxx/membervideos/1",
"http://xxxx/membervideos/2"
};
public Task<ActionResult> Async()
{
var sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();
var data = GetVideosAsync();
sw.Stop();
ViewBag.Elapsed = sw.ElapsedMilliseconds;
return View("~/views/home/index.cshtml", data);
}
Task<IEnumerable<IEnumerable<Video>>> GetVideosAsync()
{
var allVideosTasks = new List<Task<IEnumerable<Video>>>();
foreach (var url in sources)
{
allVideosTasks.Add(DownloadDataAsync(url));
}
var context = TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext();
Task.Factory.ContinueWhenAll<IEnumerable<Video>,IEnumerable<IEnumerable<Video>>(
/// CODE TO ComplETE HERE
);
Task<IEnumerable<Video>> DownloadDataAsync(string url)
{
var httpClient = new HttpClient();
var httpResponseMessage = httpClient.GetAsync(url);
var result = httpResponseMessage.ContinueWith
(t =>
{
t.Result.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
return t.Result.Content.ReadAsAsync<IEnumerable<Video>>();
}
).Unwrap();
return result;
}
