async-ctp

Would like to try using AsyncCTP with TFS. Currently have a long running method that calls RunQuery on a TFS Query instance. Query exposes the APM methods BeginQuery() and EndQuery(). As I understand it, the recommended approach to wrap these using AsyncCTP is something like: (example from docs) Task<int>.Factory.FromAsync(stream.BeginRead, stream.EndRead, buffer, offset, count, null); Further, have wrapped it in an extension method as in the docs so my actual method looks like: public static Task<WorkItemCollection> RunQueryAsync(this Query query) { if (query== null) throw new

Firstly a forward apology: I cannot isolate the following bug into a simple console application. However, in my relatively simple ASP.NET Web Forms application, the following code will cause the current thread to block indefinitely: public class MyModule : IHttpModule { public void Dispose() { } public void Init(System.Web.HttpApplication context) { context.BeginRequest += this.Context_BeginRequest; } private void Context_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e) { Sleep().Wait(); var x = 2; // This line is never hit. } private async Task Sleep() { await TaskEx.Run(() => System.Threading.Thread

I have this async method inside ASP.NET MVC 4 WEB API Controller that I got from this blog: http://www.strathweb.com/2012/04/html5-drag-and-drop-asynchronous-multi-file-upload-with-asp-net-webapi/ public async Task<IList<RecivedFile>> Post() { List<RecivedFile> result = new List<RecivedFile>(); if (Request.Content.IsMimeMultipartContent()) { try { MultipartFormDataStreamProvider stream = new MultipartFormDataStreamProvider(HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/USER-UPLOADS")); IEnumerable<HttpContent> bodyparts = await Request.Content.ReadAsMultipartAsync(stream); IDictionary<string, string>

Every variation on the following code that I try doesn't work - whether DoSomething() : void and is called as written, or DoSomething() : Task and is called with TaskEx.RunEx() , some attempt involving .GetAwaiter().GetResult() . Errors seen include: "Start may not be called on a task with null action" , "RunSynchronously may not be called on a task unbound to a delegate" , and "The task has not yet completed" . class Program { static void Main(string[] args) // Starting from a non-async method { DoSomething(); Console.WriteLine("Press any key to quit."); Console.ReadKey(); } static async void

Using latest CTP5 with async/await keywords, I wrote some code, which apparently cannot compile: class Program { public class MyClass { async public Task<int> Test() { var result = await TaskEx.Run(() => { Thread.Sleep(3000); return 3; }); return result; } } static void Main(string[] args) { var myClass = new MyClass(); //The 'await' operator can only be used in a method or lambda marked with the 'async' modifier error ??!! int result = await myClass.Test(); Console.ReadLine(); } } What is th reason of "The 'await' operator can only be used in a method or lambda marked with the 'async'
