Re: [MonoTouch] Await / Async / Task

Hi Jeff

Is anyone on that team able to confirm? I've been using the Async CTP in my
windows projects for some time now and its great. Unfortunately now I have a
fairly large set of business classes that I need to use in an iPad app. The
async support is what is holding me up and it seems to have been coming
forever ( I asked about it last December and Miguel had said 2.12 would be
released in Jan/Feb this year and to my knowledge its still not.) Now that
MS have said that VS2012 will RTM in early August, I'm really hoping to see
async support in MonoTouch released very VERY soon.

Cheers

Jeff B

The core runtime team will need to stabilize  release Mono 2.12 before the
MonoTouch team will begin updating their runtime (which probably won't
happen until after MonoTouch 6.0).

Late fall or winter is when I might expect MonoTouch to have async/wait,
but probably not much sooner.

Gulp. Am just thinking of the code I'm going to have to rewrite for the
async/await i've used :-(

I wish we could have it sooner, but it's probably too risky to get it in
for MonoTouch 6.0 (for iOS 6)

[MonoTouch] Await / Async / Task

2012-07-18 Thread rhavlick
Hello, I'm trying to get to use the async framework features to perform a web
service call.  I found from other posts, this is now supported in the Alpha
release, so I downloaded it - and believe I have the correct updates,
however it's giving me errors like:

Type Parameter Declaration Must Be An Identifier Not A Type.  Unexpected
Symbol 'TestAsync' In Class, Struct, Or Interface Member Declaration, Class,
Struct, Interface.  Method must have a return type.

My method is:
public async Taskbool TestAsync{
  //Some Stuff
}


Here is what versions I'm running:
MonoDevelop 3.0.3.4
Runtime:
Mono 2.10.9 (tarball)
GTK 2.24.10
GTK# (2.12.0.0)
Package version: 210090011
Apple Developer Tools:
Xcode 4.3.2 (1177)
Build 4E2002
Monotouch: 5.3.4

Anyone know how to make this work?  Thanks.

Hi,

Async/Await features are available in the alpha releases of Mono (ie. 2.11)
but not MonoTouch (yet). I think the plan for these features being included
in MonoTouch  Mono 4 Android is this fall (although I'm not on that team,
so I could be wrong).

Hope that helps,

Jeff
