C# 异步任务无限期等待

我正在尝试使用“异步”和“等待”提供的功能来异步下载网页内容，但我遇到了任务永远等待完成的问题。您能否让我知道以下代码片段有什么问题？

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var websites = new string[] {"http://www.cnn.com","http://www.foxnews.com"};
    var tasks = websites.Select(GenerateSomeContent).ToList();

    //I don't want to use 'await Tasks.WhenAll(tasks)' as I need to block the
    //page load until the all the webpage contents are downloaded
    Task.WhenAll(tasks).Wait();

    //This line is never hit on debugging
    var somevalue = "Complete";
}

static async Task<Results> GenerateSomeContent(string url)
{
    var client = new HttpClient();
    var response = await client.GetAsync(url); //Await for response
    var content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
    var output = new Results {Content = content};
    return output;
}

//Sample class to hold results
public class Results
{
    public string Content;
}

首先，确保您在 .NET 4.5 上运行，而不是 .NET 4.0。 ASP.NET 诞生了async-.NET 4.5 中感知。

那么，正确的解决办法是await的结果Task.WhenAll:

var tasks = websites.Select(GenerateSomeContent);
await Task.WhenAll(tasks);

ASP.NET 管道（仅在 .NET 4.5 中）将检测到您的代码是awaiting 并将暂停该请求直到Page_Load运行至完成。

使用同步阻塞任务Wait在这种情况下会导致僵局正如我在博客上解释的那样 http://blog.stephencleary.com/2012/07/dont-block-on-async-code.html.
