Pull request overview
Updates the C# async file access tutorial to avoid implying that async file APIs “demonstrate parallel processing,” and reframes the guidance around queuing multiple asynchronous I/O operations and avoiding thread blocking.
Changes:
- Renames the “Parallel asynchronous I/O” section to “Multiple asynchronous I/O operations.”
- Rewrites the section intro and performance discussion to emphasize that
asyncavoids blocking the calling thread, and that concurrency/throughput depends on platform behavior. - Applies style/wording updates (including adding
ai-usagefront matter and updatingms.date).
