Using Async with MVC4 and Azure

Question

I'm watching this lecture http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechDays/Techdays-2012-the-Netherlands/2287 and on 14:08 he says that MVC4 has the Async feature. I have VS2010 with MVC4 beta installed, but doesn't have the Async available. After doing some search I understaand that to use Async you need VS11 and what is more important that here https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/vs11/ they tell that Azure doesn't support VS11 projects yet. This is very confusing because in the video he does not tell that I need VS11 and I can't tell from the UI if it is VS11.

So my question is there a way how can I TODAY use Async + MVC4 on Azure?

There's a CTP that you could install and which enables this feature in VS2010. It stays CTP though. The feature will be part of the .NET 4.5 framework and available with VS11.

The VS2010 CTP is just an add-on to the C# 4.0 compiler. So it spits .NET 4.0 assemblies which are compatible with Azure. On the other hand VS11 spits .NET 4.5 which is not compatible and yet supported on Azure.

Thanks! At least I don't have to install VS11 yet.

I have installed the CTP, but it still doesn't resolve the async keyword. Am I missing something, maybe a reference?

You need to add reference to the AsynchCtpLibrary.dll assembly which should normally be located in the Microsoft Visual Studio Async CTP\Samples folder.

If you need to use the new MVC 4 and .Net 4.5 features on Azure, please go to the Azure UserVoice site and vote for this feature: http://www.mygreatwindowsazureidea.com/forums/34192-windows-azure-feature-voting/suggestions/2598170-iis8-and-asp-net-4-5-support-in-azure-platform
