Example of RestSharp ASYNC client.ExecuteAsync () works

Question

Could someone please help me modify the code below:

client.ExecuteAsync(request, response => {
    Console.WriteLine(response.Content);
});

Answer 1

There's the thing... you can't return an asynchronously delivered value, because your calling method will already have returned. Blocking the caller until you have a result defeats the point of using ExecuteAsync. In this case, I'd return a Task (assuming response.Content is a string):

Task GetResponseContentAsync(...)
{
  var tcs=new TaskCompletionSource();
  client.ExecuteAsync(request, response => {
    tcs.SetResult(response.Content);
  });
  return tcs.Task;
}

Now, when the task completes, you have a value. As we move to c#5 async/await, you should get used to stating asynchrony in terms of Task as it's pretty core.
