A .NET library providing extensions for System.Threading.Tasks.Task and ValueTask, including SafeFireAndForget for exception-safe fire-and-forget calls and WeakEventManager to avoid memory leaks. It also ships an MVVM companion package with AsyncCommand and AsyncValueCommand implementations of ICommand for async operations.

Use cases

• safely fire-and-forget a Task without async void
• avoid memory leaks from un-unsubscribed event handlers
• bind async Task-based commands in MVVM
• use ValueTask with ICommand in WPF or MAUI apps
• catch exceptions from unobserved tasks
• replace async void event handlers in C#

When to choose

• you write C#/.NET apps with async code and want to avoid async void pitfalls
• you need async ICommand implementations for MVVM (Xamarin, MAUI, WPF, Avalonia)
• you want a lightweight, .NET Standard 1.0-compatible utility

When to avoid

• your project is not on .NET/.NET Standard
• you need full async/await orchestration libraries like TPL Dataflow or Rx
• you don't use MVVM or fire-and-forget patterns
