Why doesn't await on Task.WhenAll throw an AggregateException?

Question

In this code:

private async void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    try {
        await Task.WhenAll(DoLongThingAsyncEx1(), DoLongThingAsyncEx2(         


        

Answer 1

You can traverse all tasks to see if more than one have thrown an exception:

private async Task Example()
{
    var tasks = new [] { DoLongThingAsyncEx1(), DoLongThingAsyncEx2() };

    try 
    {
        await Task.WhenAll(tasks);
    }
    catch (Exception ex) 
    {
        var exceptions = tasks.Where(t => t.Exception != null)
                              .Select(t => t.Exception);
    }
}

private Task DoLongThingAsyncEx1()
{
    return Task.Run(() => { throw new InvalidTimeZoneException(); });
}

private Task DoLongThingAsyncEx2()
{
    return Task.Run(() => { throw new InvalidOperationException(); });
}
