Question Good tutorial on using Tasks and Async

You can pass data in and out of an asynchronous method. To return data, use a Task.

e.g. When joining a multiplayer lobby. The QuickJoin method might look like

Code (CSharp):

1.         public async Task<Lobby> QuickJoinLobby()
2.         {
3.  
4.             try
5.             {
6.                 //return currentLobby;
7.                 currentLobby = await Lobbies.Instance.QuickJoinLobbyAsync();
8.                 .
9.                 Debug.Log($"Quick Joining with code {currentLobby.Data["JoinCodeKey"].Value}");
10.                 .
11.                 .
12.                 return currentLobby;                              
13.             }
14.             catch
15.             {
16.                 Debug.Log("Quick Lobby Join Exceptions, I guess I'll create my own Lobby");
17.                 return null;
18.             }
19.         }

And would be called with

var lobby = await networkLobby.CreateNewLobby();

Here are a couple of links that might help:

• This Microsoft guide on Asynchronous programming with async and await contains an easy to follow example.
• Tarodev has an excellent tutorial on his You Tube channel using asynchronous tasks in a Unity project. Unity async / await: Coroutine's Hot Sister [C# & Unity]
