For example a scenario in Winform where the UI thread will be blocked while we use
HttpWebRequest synchronously which in turn requests resources on Internet. Here we can use async method to execute the method while await keyword for certain task allows user to interact with winform even though the request is still running.
This can even be achieved by delegation so what’s the advantage of Async Feature?
One of the nicest advantages in my opinion is a more concise way to understand the async programming pattern with less lines of code. If you want to see more clearly how it works, check out this question answered by Jon Skeet: How does Task<int> become a int?
