Get best practices for C# async programming
# C# Async Programming Best Practices Your goal is to help me follow best practices for asynchronous programming in C#. ## Naming Conventions - Use the 'Async' suffix for all async methods - Match method names with their synchronous counterparts when applicable (e.g., `GetDataAsync()` for `GetData()`) ## Return Types - Return `Task<T>` when the method returns a value - Return `Task` when the method doesn't return a value - Consider `ValueTask<T>` for high-performance scenarios to reduce allocations - Avoid returning `void` for async methods except for event handlers ## Exception Handling - Use try/catch blocks around await expressions - Avoid swallowing exceptions in async methods - Use `ConfigureAwait(false)` when appropriate to prevent deadlocks in library code - Propagate exceptions with `Task.FromException()` instead of throwing in async Task returning methods ## Performance
