Task<> does not contain a definition for 'GetAwaiter'

Question

Client

iGame Channel = new ChannelFactory<iGame> ( new BasicHttpBinding ( BasicHttpSecurityMode . None ) , new EndpointAddress ( new Uri ( "http://localhost:58597/Game.svc" ) ) ) . CreateChannel ( );

public Task<SerializableDynamicObject> Client ( SerializableDynamicObject Packet )
{
    return Task<SerializableDynamicObject> . Factory . FromAsync ( Channel . BeginConnection , Channel . EndConnection , Packet , null );
}

Contract

    [OperationContract ( AsyncPattern = true )]
    IAsyncResult BeginConnection ( SerializableDynamicObject Message , AsyncCallback Callback , object State );

    SerializableDynamicObject EndConnection ( IAsyncResult Result );

Service

public IAsyncResult BeginConnection ( SerializableDynamicObject Message , AsyncCallback Callback , object State )
{
    dynamic Request = Message;
    dynamic Response = new SerializableDynamicObject ( );
    if ( Request . Operation = "test" )
    {
        Response . Status = true;
    }
    Response . Status = false;

    return new CompletedAsyncResult<SerializableDynamicObject> ( Response );
}

public SerializableDynamicObject EndConnection ( IAsyncResult Result )
{
    return ( Result as CompletedAsyncResult<SerializableDynamicObject> ) . Data;
}

Exposing Service from Silverlight Client

private async void myButton ( object sender , RoutedEventArgs e )
{
    dynamic Request = new SerializableDynamicObject ( );
    Request . Operation = "test";

    var task = Client ( Request );
    var result = await task;  // <------------------------------ Exception
}

Exception

Task<SerializableDynamicObject > does not contain a definition for 'GetAwaiter'

What's wrong ?

Edit 1 :

Briefly,

Visual studio 2012 RC Silverlight 5 Application consumes Game WCF 4 Service hosted in ASP.net 4 Application with ChannelFactory technique via Shared Portable Library .NET4/SL5 contains the iGame interface with Async CTP

Graph :
ASP.NET <= Class Library ( Game ) <= Portable Library ( iGame ) => Silverlight

Edit 2 :

• Microsoft.CompilerServices.AsyncTargetingPack.Silverlight5.dll is added in my SL5 Client
• using System . Threading . Tasks;

Answer 1

I had this issue in one of my projects, where I found that I had set my project's .Net Framework version to 4.0 and async tasks are only supported in .Net Framework 4.5 onwards.

I simply changed my project settings to use .Net Framework 4.5 or above and it worked.
