## About
|
|
|
|
As of C# 8, the C# language has support for producing and consuming asynchronous iterators. The library types in support of those features are available in .NET Core 3.0 and newer as well as in .NET Standard 2.1. This library provides the necessary definitions of those types to support these language features on .NET Framework and on .NET Standard 2.0. This library is not necessary nor recommended when targeting versions of .NET that include the relevant support.
