Async - in COBOL and C#

// Calling async methods
await Task.Delay(1000);
var items = await ProcessItemsAsync("user", 8);
// Run code on background thread
await Task.Run(
() => {
Console.WriteLine("On background thread");
});
// An async void method
async void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    button1.Enabled = false;
    await Task.Delay(1000);
    button1.Enabled = true;
}
// An async method returning no result
async Task ProcessAsync()
{
    await Task.Yield();
    Console.WriteLine("async...");
}
// An async method returning a result
async Task<string[]> ProcessItemsAsync(string type, int count)
{
    await Task.Delay(1000);
    return new[] { "a", "b", "c" };
}
// An async value-task method returning a result
async ValueTask<string> MaybeProcess(bool x)
{
    if (x) {
        await Task.Delay(1000);
    return "x";
    } 
    else
    {
        return "y";
    }
}
