Simplifying task awaiting (blog post)

var (a, b) = await (task1, task2);
var (a, b) = await (task1, task2).ConfigureAwait(false);

Thread-safe collection that can be bound to a UI control

using Meziantou.Framework.Collections.Concurrent;

// Created on the UI thread, so the notifications are raised on that thread
var collection = new ConcurrentObservableCollection<string>();
listBox.ItemsSource = collection.AsObservable;

// The collection itself is safe to use from any thread
await Task.Run(() => collection.Add("Item from a background thread"));

The thread the notifications are raised on can also be set explicitly:

var collection = new ConcurrentObservableCollection<string>(synchronizationContext);
