异步文件 I/O

异步操作使您能在不阻塞主线程的情况下执行占用大量资源的 I/O 操作。 在 Windows 8.x 应用商店应用或桌面应用中一个耗时的流操作可能阻塞 UI 线程并让应用看起来好像不工作时,这种性能的考虑就显得尤为重要了。

从 .NET Framework 4.5 开始,I/O 类型包括了异步方法,以简化异步操作。 异步方法在其名称中包括 Async ,例如 ReadAsyncWriteAsyncCopyToAsyncFlushAsyncReadLineAsyncReadToEndAsync。 这些异步方法基于流类(例如 StreamFileStreamMemoryStream)和用来向流中读出或写入数据的类(例如 TextReaderTextWriter)实现。

在 .NET Framework 4 和更早的版本中,你必须使用 BeginReadEndRead 等方法来实现异步 I/O 操作。 这些方法仍然在当前 .NET 版本中可用,从而支持传统的代码;但是,异步方法能帮助你更轻松地实现异步 I/O 操作。

C# 和 Visual Basic 分别具有两个用于异步编程的关键字:

  • Async (Visual Basic) 或 async (C#) 修饰符,您可以用来标记包含异步操作的方法。

  • Await (Visual Basic) 或 await (C#) 运算符,可以应用到异步方法的结果中。

如下面的示例所示,若要实现异步 I/O 操作,请把这些关键字和异步方法结合使用。 有关详细信息,请参阅使用 async 和 await 的异步编程 (C#)使用 Async 和 Await 的异步编程 (Visual Basic)

下面的示例演示如何使用两个 FileStream 对象把文件从一个目录异步复制到另一个目录。 需要注意 Click 控件的 Button 事件处理程序具有 async 修饰符标记,因为它调用异步方法。

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using System.IO;

namespace WpfApplication
{
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            string startDirectory = @"c:\Users\exampleuser\start";
            string endDirectory = @"c:\Users\exampleuser\end";

            foreach (string filename in Directory.EnumerateFiles(startDirectory))
            {
                using (FileStream sourceStream = File.Open(filename, FileMode.Open))
                {
                    using (FileStream destinationStream = File.Create(Path.Combine(endDirectory, Path.GetFileName(filename))))
                    {
                        await sourceStream.CopyToAsync(destinationStream);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
Imports System.IO

Class MainWindow

    Private Async Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
        Dim StartDirectory As String = "c:\Users\exampleuser\start"
        Dim EndDirectory As String = "c:\Users\exampleuser\end"

        For Each filename As String In Directory.EnumerateFiles(StartDirectory)
            Using SourceStream As FileStream = File.Open(filename, FileMode.Open)
                Using DestinationStream As FileStream = File.Create(EndDirectory + filename.Substring(filename.LastIndexOf("\"c)))
                    Await SourceStream.CopyToAsync(DestinationStream)
                End Using

            End Using
        Next
    End Sub

End Class

下一个例子类似于前面的例子,但是使用 StreamReaderStreamWriter 对象以异步方式读取和写入文本文件的内容。

private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    string UserDirectory = @"c:\Users\exampleuser\";

    using (StreamReader SourceReader = File.OpenText(UserDirectory + "BigFile.txt"))
    {
        using (StreamWriter DestinationWriter = File.CreateText(UserDirectory + "CopiedFile.txt"))
        {
            await CopyFilesAsync(SourceReader, DestinationWriter);
        }
    }
}

public async Task CopyFilesAsync(StreamReader Source, StreamWriter Destination)
{
    char[] buffer = new char[0x1000];
    int numRead;
    while ((numRead = await Source.ReadAsync(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)
    {
        await Destination.WriteAsync(buffer, 0, numRead);
    }
}
Private Async Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
    Dim UserDirectory As String = "c:\Users\exampleuser\"

    Using SourceReader As StreamReader = File.OpenText(UserDirectory + "BigFile.txt")
        Using DestinationWriter As StreamWriter = File.CreateText(UserDirectory + "CopiedFile.txt")
            Await CopyFilesAsync(SourceReader, DestinationWriter)
        End Using
    End Using
End Sub

Public Async Function CopyFilesAsync(Source As StreamReader, Destination As StreamWriter) As Task
    Dim buffer(4095) As Char
    Dim numRead As Integer

    numRead = Await Source.ReadAsync(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
    Do While numRead <> 0
        Await Destination.WriteAsync(buffer, 0, numRead)
        numRead = Await Source.ReadAsync(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
    Loop

End Function
