Task Class

The Task class is a key component of the Task Parallel Library, providing a framework for asynchronous programming. It represents a unit of work that can run concurrently with other tasks, offering efficient and scalable execution. Programmers use it to create, manage, and coordinate asynchronous operations, enhancing application responsiveness.

Namespace: System.Threading.Tasks

Task.Delay (async/await)

The Task.Delay Method creates a task that will complete after a time delay.

Task.Delay is generally preferred when working with asynchronous programming using async and await.
It returns a Task that represents a time delay.
It doesn't block the calling thread. Instead, it allows the thread to be released and continue with other work while waiting for the specified time to elapse.
It's more suitable for scenarios where you want to introduce a delay without blocking the execution of the current method or freezing the user interface in GUI applications.

Example:

async Task MyMethod()
{
    // Do something before the delay
    await Task.Delay(1000); // Delay for 1000 milliseconds (1 second)
    // Do something after the delay
}
