I'm walking through this tutorial on how to program asynchronously in c# and have come across an error I'm not sure how to resolve. Here's the link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh191443.aspx and the error is:
Cannot find all types required by the 'async' modifier.
Are you targeting the wrong framework version, or missing a reference to an assembly?
I am targeting the .NET 4.0 framework and am unsure as to any additional assemblies required.
Here is the code:
public async Task<string> AccessTheWebAsync(Class1 class1, Class2 class2)
{
// GetStringAsync returns a Task<string>. That means that when you await the
// task you'll get a List<string> (urlContents).
Task<string[]> listTask = GetList(class1);
// send message task
// You can do work here that doesn't rely on the string from GetStringAsync.
//CompareService();
// The await operator suspends AccessTheWebAsync.
// - AccessTheWebAsync can't continue until getStringTask is complete.
// - Meanwhile, control returns to the caller of AccessTheWebAsync.
// - Control resumes here when getStringTask is complete.
// - The await operator then retrieves the string result from getStringTask.
string[] listContents = await listTask;
// The return statement specifies an integer result.
// Any methods that are awaiting AccessTheWebAsync retrieve the length value.
return listContents;
}
public Task<string[]> GetList(Class1 class1)
{
var taskArray = Task<string[]>.Factory.StartNew(() => GenerateResults(class1));
return taskArray;
}
public string[] GenerateResults(Class1 class1)
{
string[] results = new string[2];
results[1] = "";
results[2] = "";
return results;
}
async/awaitis fromC#-5.0but I use it in .NET 4.0 having installedAsync CTPb/c I cannot install .NET-4.5 (or VS2012) on Windows XP (VS2010). Think about it as extension to true .NET-4.0, not the one coming with .NET-4.5 only – Mako
