Skill instructions
WinForms Async APIs (.NET 9/10) When to use this skill Use this skill when generating or reviewing WinForms code that: - Marshals work to the UI thread from a worker thread or Task.Run. - Updates controls, reads control state, or runs async UI-bound operations. - Shows forms or dialogs asynchronously, especially in multi-form, MVVM, or DI scenarios. - Triggers async work from a synchronous context (event handlers, OnLoad). - Needs to defer work until after the message queue drains (post-show kickoff, reacting after a Windows message completes). - Hits InvokeAsync overload-resolution errors/warnings (e.g. WFO2001). Do not reach for these APIs to replace plain await of background work that never touches the UI ─ that needs no marshalling. The APIs at a glance | API | Status | Purpose | | --- | --- | --- | | Control.InvokeAsync | Stable (.NET 9) | Marshal sync/async callbacks to the UI thread, non-blocking. | | Form.ShowAsync | Stable (.NET 10) | Show a modeless form asynchronously. | | F
