Task.result takes more time for assigning to a Str variable in X++

Hi All,
 
I am calling an external webservice from D365FO using a C# class. this class dll I used it as a reference in my D365FO project.
 
the C# class is returning an Async task<String> 
 
from my X++ code I am able to get the result by using the code below
 
var task = referenceClass.Method(....);
 
Str result = task.result;
 
this particular line mentioned above is a performance killer. this is making my class execution longer than before.
 
Is there any alternative way to get the string value faster from the task ?
 
Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hmm, what do you mean by "code to deal this"?
     
    If you need the result of the task ASAP, you must wait for the task to complete and produce the result. You can't use the result before it's produced - that would require time travelling. :)
     
    Maybe you don't need to wait for the result; you may want to add another task running on completion.
     
    Or maybe you don't need the result at all; then you shouldn't try to get it.

    @Martin Dráb: if possible could you please let me know a sample code to deal this. the earlier fix "task.result" was copied from one of your blogs. thanks a lot for that post.

    Accessing the Result property causes waiting for the completion of the asynchronous method. Yes, skipping the method is faster than executing it and waiting for it compleing the work, but you can't get the result in such a case, because no result exist at the moment.
     
    If you want to make it faster, you need to look at what the asynchronous method does and try to optimize it.
     
    Note that this is nothing specific to F&O. You may want to learn about asynchronous methods and Task Parallel Library in .NET before continuing.
