What are some real-world examples of using async LINQ?

Can you give me some real-world examples of using async LINQ?

Sure! Async LINQ is often used in applications that require data fetching from APIs or databases without blocking the UI. For instance, in a web application, you might use async LINQ to fetch user data from a database while allowing the user to continue interacting with the interface.

That sounds useful! Can you provide a code snippet for that?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

var users = await dbContext.Users.AsAsyncEnumerable().ToListAsync();

This code fetches users from a database asynchronously, ensuring the UI remains responsive.

What about using async LINQ with external APIs?

Great question! You can use async LINQ to call an external API like this:

var data = await httpClient.GetFromJsonAsync<List<MyDataType>>("https://api.example.com/data");

This allows you to fetch data without freezing the application.

Thanks! Are there any performance considerations?

Yes, while async LINQ improves responsiveness, it's important to manage the number of concurrent requests to avoid overwhelming the server or hitting rate limits.
