            // Call the method that runs asynchronously.
            //result = await WaitAsynchronouslyAsync();
            // Call the method that runs synchronously.
            // result = await WaitSynchronously ();

            // Display the result.

上述代码得出至少两点：
1. await WaitAsynchronouslyAsync() 执行时要等待这个调用完成，才会执下后面的代码，但在这个调用没有完成前，其thread是可以被其它代码占用的，表现就是UI仍可以接收其它消息
2. WaitAsynchronouslyAsync（）函数执行的线程与UI主线程是同一个，这也是为什么在这个函数中的messagebox可以显示，Thread.sleep可以阻止UI线程接收消息
