I have Visual Studio Professional 2013 and I am debugging an application which uses async/await extensively. But when I stop at breakpoint and open Debug/Windows/Tasks window, it always says "No tasks to display."
I've made two test, in one I can see task, in another I can't (I run program, and pause it). Or I can breakpoint at waiting fro task line.
using System; using System.Threading; using System.Threading.Tasks; namespace TasksDebugWindowTest { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { DoesNotWork(); } static void Works() { Console.WriteLine("Starting"); var t = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => { Task.Delay(100 * 1000).Wait(); Console.WriteLine("Task complete"); }); Console.WriteLine("Status: {0}", t.Status); Thread.Sleep(500); Console.WriteLine("Status: {0}", t.Status); t.Wait(); Console.WriteLine("Done"); } static void DoesNotWork() { Console.WriteLine("Starting"); var t = Task.Delay(100 * 1000); t.Wait(); // **** Breakpoint here Console.WriteLine("Task complete"); } } } Can anybody explain why I can see tasks in one case but not in another?
