How to run two processes simultaneously.

example.cs

var loopCanceller = new CancellationTokenSource();
HttpResponseMessage response = null;
var loop = Progress.ProgressDots(loopCanceller.Token);
var send = Task.Run(async () =>
{
    response = await _httpClient.SendAsync(request, HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead);
    loopCanceller.Cancel(false);
});

await Task.WhenAll(send, loop);
