The problem is, sometimes we want to create the method

as synchronusly instead of async

so with the new keyword, we still have to write 2 methods each ?

Resharper and other third-party extensions doesn't support Async keywords and you still get squiggly underlines within Visual Studio and errors within the editor.

Don't worry, the code will compile anyway. The new keywords are recognized by the compiler. By the way, you will have no error in Visual Studio.

It took one hour for fully installation. Async CTP works for now.

To check the installation : blogs.msdn.com/.../async-ctp-refresh-installation.aspx

"I really don't think the async pattern is for you. You seem like a single threaded apartment kind of guy."

comment of the day.

In other news, great little article. Shown at such a simple level I could take one look and "get" it. job done, off to overhaul some GUI's with this now!

Seems similar to—but less cool than—Reactive Extensions (Rx). Built in keywords are kind of cool, but I dislike having to permanently change methods to be async... usually that choice is left up to the caller rather than the callee.

Way Cool - Good Info Chef - but to try it - it has to be installed.

Yeah - play by play is perhaps neurotic - but apparently nobody else stopped by at all until now.

@zzz @yyy .... NO comments, because, people, this site's comments are meant to comment on the article, not the install of the CTP. Use connect or some other avenue to enter comments on the CTP, not article comments.

Async is a great idea, guys. Thanks for the update.

Dude...what's wrong with you? Why are you giving everyone a play by play update on your installation. Is it really worth spamming a comment board with messages that no one cares about to say that it took 26 minutes to install the CTP? What if people had real questions or concerns that weren't noticed because of your constant updates? I really don't think the async pattern is for you. You seem like a single threaded apartment kind of guy.

10 days later and no feedback on the above install?
