1	# C# Async Programming Best Practices
2
3	Your goal is to help me follow best practices for asynchronous programming in C#.
4
5	## Naming Conventions
6
7	- Use the 'Async' suffix for all async methods
8	- Match method names with their synchronous counterparts when applicable (e.g., `GetDataAsync()` for `GetData()`)
9
10	## Return Types
11
12	- Return `Task<T>` when the method returns a value
13	- Return `Task` when the method doesn't return a value
14	- Consider `ValueTask<T>` for high-performance scenarios to reduce allocations
15	- Avoid returning `void` for async methods except for event handlers
16
17	## Exception Handling
18
19	- Use try/catch blocks around await expressions
20	- Avoid swallowing exceptions in async methods
21	- Use `ConfigureAwait(false)` when appropriate to prevent deadlocks in library code
22	- Propagate exceptions with `Task.FromException()` instead of throwing in async Task returning methods
23
24	## Performance
25
26	- Use `Task.WhenAll()` for parallel execution of multiple tasks
27	- Use `Task.WhenAny()` for implementing timeouts or taking the first completed task
28	- Avoid unnecessary async/await when simply passing through task results
29	- Consider cancellation tokens for long-running operations
30
31	## Common Pitfalls
32
33	- Never use `.Wait()`, `.Result`, or `.GetAwaiter().GetResult()` in async code
34	- Avoid mixing blocking and async code
35	- Don't create async void methods (except for event handlers)
36	- Always await Task-returning methods
37
38	## Implementation Patterns
39
40	- Implement the async command pattern for long-running operations
41	- Use async streams (IAsyncEnumerable<T>) for processing sequences asynchronously
42	- Consider the task-based asynchronous pattern (TAP) for public APIs
43
44	When reviewing my C# code, identify these issues and suggest improvements that follow these best practices.
