Working with System.Threading.Tasks.Task instead of Stream

Question

I was using a method like below on the previous versions of WCF Web API:

// grab the posted stream
Stream stream = request.Content.ContentReadStream;

// write i

Here is how you can do this better with async and await:

    private async void WhatEverMethod()
    {
        var stream = await response.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync();

        using (FileStream fileStream = File.Create(fullFileName, (int)stream.Length))
        {
            byte[] bytesInStream = new byte[stream.Length];
            stream.Read(bytesInStream, 0, (int)bytesInStream.Length);
            fileStream.Write(bytesInStream, 0, bytesInStream.Length);
        }
    });
