Loading and compiling resources asynchronously

Within Windows Store apps, it is desirable to keep your application as responsive as possible at all times. Instead of showing a static splash screen for the duration of compiling shaders and loading resources, in this recipe we will initialize our renderers and resources using the async/await keywords.

Getting ready

For this recipe, we will continue from where we left off in the previous recipe Rendering to an XAML SwapChainPanel.

How to do it…

We will first make changes to the SwapChainPanel C# class file and then update the CreateDeviceDependentResources implementation to support asynchronous resource creation. Lastly, we will take a look at some of the additional changes necessary within the code ...

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
