parallel processing - How to create an async method in C# 4 according to the best practices? -

-

consider following code snippet:

public static task<string> fetchasync() {     string url = "http://www.example.com", message = "hello world!";      var request = (httpwebrequest)webrequest.create(url);     request.method = webrequestmethods.http.post;      return task.factory.fromasync<stream>(request.begingetrequeststream, request.endgetrequeststream, null)         .continuewith(t =>         {             var stream = t.result;             var data = encoding.ascii.getbytes(message);             task.factory.fromasync(stream.beginwrite, stream.endwrite, data, 0, data.length, null, taskcreationoptions.attachedtoparent)                 .continuewith(t2 => { stream.close(); });         })         .continuewith<string>(t =>         {             var t1 =                 task.factory.fromasync<webresponse>(request.begingetresponse, request.endgetresponse, null)                 .continuewith<string>(t2 =>                 {                     var response = (httpwebresponse)t2.result;                     var stream = response.getresponsestream();                     var buffer = new byte[response.contentlength > 0 ? response.contentlength : 0x100000];                     var t3 = task<int>.factory.fromasync(stream.beginread, stream.endread, buffer, 0, buffer.length, null, taskcreationoptions.attachedtoparent)                         .continuewith<string>(t4 =>                         {                             stream.close();                             response.close();                             if (t4.result < buffer.length)                             {                                 array.resize(ref buffer, t4.result);                             }                             return encoding.ascii.getstring(buffer);                         });                     t3.wait();                     return t3.result;                 });             t1.wait();             return t1.result;         }); }

it should return task<string>, send http post request data, return result webserver in form of string , efficient possible.

  • did spot problems regarding async flow in example above?
  • is ok have .wait() inside .continuewith() in example
  • do see other problems peace of code (keeping aside exception handling now)?

if async related c# 4.0 code huge , ugly - there chance it's implemented properly. if it's nice , short, it's not ;)

..though, may more attractive creating extension methods on webrequest, stream classes , cleanup main method.

p.s.: hope c# 5.0 it's new async keyword , library released soon.

does of algorithm extracts contents webpage? instapaper ? there 2 steps instapaper does: find main content block on page (excluding headers, footers, menus etc) from content block extract , format text to find content block (typically html block element, div containing key page text content) instapaper uses algorithm 1 used readability . can @ source of readability.js see what's going on, @ core tries find area on page highest text/link ratio, although has other simple scoring metrics (e.g. off top of head, things ratio of text commas, para elements etc) go heuristics. once have identified root node element, relevant content, you'll need format it, if want can pull node element containing text out of source document , insert yours, in reality you'll want remove existing styles , apply own, standard , feel. if want output nice text-only can use jericho's renderer . update1 : should mention else instapaper - follow 'pagination' links (...
