EF6 alpha Async Await on an Entity Stored Procedure / Function Import?

Question

I\'d like to apply the new async await functionality to Stored Procedures / Function Imports imported in my Entity model, but have as yet been unable to with the EF6 alpha.<

This is an old thread, but I felt I should share. You should use APM then wrap the synchronous calls in a Task.

Example:

//declare the delegate
private delegate MyResult MySPDelegate();

// declare the synchronous method
private MyResult MySP()
{
    // do work...
}

Then wrap the synchronous method in a Task:

// wraps the method in a task and returns the task.
public Task MySPAsync()
{
    MySPDelegate caller = new MySPDelegate(MySP);
    return Task.Factory.FromAsync(caller.BeginInvoke, caller.EndInvoke, null);
}

Call the async method when you want to execute:

var MyResult = await MySPAsync();

You can use up to three (3) parameters in the methods. Best practice is if you use more than three parameters; you should pass in a class.
