Turning an Event into a Task [Answered]
I have a method that needs to send a message over the network, and then wait for a response before returning something. Due to some quirks, the only way to get a response is via an event. What is an appropriate way to have the method wait for the event, and get the data from it?
I have tried setting up a TaskCompletionSource in a private field, that the method awaits, and the event sets the result - but the event could trigger from code I didn't write, and basically could end up returning the wrong data. And having to use a private field feels bad, though I don't know what alternatives I have
