[Mono-dev] System.Net and SynchronizationContext

[Federico Di Gregorio]

Hi *,

I have discovered that the Mono implementation of WebClient doesn't 
behave as described in this MSDN article:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/gg598924.aspx

Specifically all Async methods don't capure the current 
SynchronizationContext to later run the event handlers on it.

I can probably provide some patches but I don't know if there are plans 
to replace that code with the one MS open sourced.

As a side note, inspecting the code I found that in quite a lot of 
places Mono doesn't implement the "event handler" pattern correctly doing:

if (Event != null)
     Event(args);

instead of:

var e = Event;
if (e != null)
     e(args);

Are patches about this welcome?
