control to output to screen the details of a task

Hi Ireland,

According to your description, I realize you want to know the work process working in the task in store app. We can use Dispatcher.RunAsync method. Code looks like the following.

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

        {

            Task task = new Task(new Action(WorkProcess));

            task.Start();

        }



        private async void WorkProcess()

        {

             await Dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>

                {

                    ShowStatus("work start");

                });

             await Task.Delay(2000);



             await Dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>

             {

                 ShowStatus("connect to database start");

             });

             await Task.Delay(2000);



             await Dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>

             {

                 ShowStatus("connect to database end");

             });

             await Task.Delay(2000);



             await Dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>

             {

                 ShowStatus("download start");

             });

             await Task.Delay(5000);



             await Dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>

             {

                 ShowStatus("download end");

             });

             await Task.Delay(2000);



             await Dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>

                {

                    ShowStatus("work end");

                });

             await Task.Delay(2000);

        }



        private void ShowStatus(string msg)

        {

            txtMSG.Text += DateTime.Now.ToString() + "    " + msg + "\r\n";

        }
