We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.
How to Edit
- Correct minor typos or mistakes
- Clarify meaning without changing it
- Add related resources or links
- Always respect the author’s intent
- Don’t use edits to reply to the author
How to Format
- create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~ ```
like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you

var loadResults = await Task.Run(LoadFilesAsync);to keep the application from locking if I remove the individual Task.Run()'s from LoadFilesAsync?LoadFilesAsync()is marked asasyncthen no, you do not. Basically, you want the files to be loaded sequentially since that rarely takes a long time, but you don't want your task to be blocking while the read happens._file.Clear()in async code, which can be called in parallel. That means your files being loaded might not be as robust as you wanted.MessageBox.ShowMessageusage. In these situations, I like to pass in a logger object of some sort, preferably with log levels (or at least a boolean to indicate something is verbose that can be controlled with a feature flag in configuration) so I can leave in these debug messages yet be able to enable/disable them at will without having to actually change code and without putting in bad-practice code.
