Is ContinueWith in c# truly asynchronous?

Using ContinueWith on the task I executed is suppose to run asynchronously, but is it really asynchronous? I mean if I run a task "t" and use that task to call say t.ContinueWith(t=>t.Result), will this be run asynchronously? I know it won't block all the threads till result is complete but will it completely return the handle back to the caller or will it do context switching between threads.

I don't know what handle are you talking about. What ContinueWith() does is to schedule the continuation to execute when the Task completes and then immediately returns.
