Weird Issue/Noob Question

SmithPlatts

I cannot seem to access the await operator in LINQPad 4.47.02 on Windows 8 ... which is meant to have .NET 4.5 ...

Help?

What happens when you try?

Can you do this:

await Task.Delay (1000);
"Success".Dump();

That worked; turns out I was being an utter idiot ...
I was calling await from a non-async method

Sorry to waste your time

At first LINQPad was only giving me this error:

The type or namespace name 'await' could not be found (press F4 to add a using directive or assembly reference)

Which is why I didn't realise that I was calling from a non-async method; complete rookie mistake
