Syntax

public static class Conversion

Methods

AsDynamic(Task)

Allows to convert Task<TResult> of unknown result type into dynamically typed task which result can be obtained as Object or any other data type using dynamic approach.

Declaration

public static DynamicTaskAwaitable AsDynamic(this Task task)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Task	task	The arbitrary task of type Task<TResult>.

Returns

Type	Description
DynamicTaskAwaitable	The dynamically typed task.

Remarks

The type of the returned task is not known at compile time and therefore treated as dynamic. The result value returned by await operator is equal to Value if task is not of type Task<TResult>.

Convert<TInput, TOutput>(Task<TInput>)

Converts one type of task into another.

Declaration

public static Task<TOutput> Convert<TInput, TOutput>(this Task<TInput> task)

    where TInput : TOutput

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Task<TInput>	task	The task to convert.

Returns

Type	Description
Task<TOutput>	The converted task.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TInput	The source task type.
TOutput	The target task type.

Convert<TInput, TOutput>(Task<TInput>, Converter<TInput, TOutput>)

Converts one type of task into another.

Declaration

public static Task<TOutput> Convert<TInput, TOutput>(this Task<TInput> task, Converter<TInput, TOutput> converter)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Task<TInput>	task	The task to convert.
Converter<TInput, TOutput>	converter	Non-blocking conversion function.

Returns

Type	Description
Task<TOutput>	The converted task.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TInput	The source task type.
TOutput	The target task type.

Convert<TInput, TOutput>(Task<TInput>, Converter<TInput, Task<TOutput>>)

Converts one type of task into another.

Declaration

public static Task<TOutput> Convert<TInput, TOutput>(this Task<TInput> task, Converter<TInput, Task<TOutput>> converter)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Task<TInput>	task	The task to convert.
Converter<TInput, Task<TOutput>>	converter	Asynchronous conversion function.

Returns

Type	Description
Task<TOutput>	The converted task.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TInput	The source task type.
TOutput	The target task type.

ToNullable<T>(Task<T>)

Converts value type into nullable value type.

Declaration

public static Task<T?> ToNullable<T>(this Task<T> task)

    where T : struct

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Task<T>	task	The task to convert.

Returns

Type	Description
Task<Nullable<T>>	The converted task.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The value type.
