My async Task always blocks UI

Question

In a WPF 4.5 application, I don\'t understand why the UI is blocked when I used await + a task :

    private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEve         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

private Task JobAsync(double value)
{
    return Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 30000000; i++)
            value += Math.Log(Math.Sqrt(Math.Pow(value, 0.75)));

        return value;
    });
}
