This time we update csharpxom to adjust it to C# 4.5. Additions are async modifier and await operator.

They are used to simplify asynchronous programming.

The following example from the msdn:

private async Task<byte[]> GetURLContentsAsync(string url)
{
  var content = new MemoryStream();
  var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);

  using(var response = await request.GetResponseAsync())
  using(var responseStream = response.GetResponseStream())
  {
    await responseStream.CopyToAsync(content);
  }

  return content.ToArray();
}

looks like this in csharpxom:

<method name="GetURLContentsAsync" access="private" async="true">
  <returns>
    <type name="Task" namespace="System.Threading.Tasks">
      <type-arguments>
        <type name="byte" rank="1"/>
      </type-arguments>
    </type>
  </returns>
  <parameters>
    <parameter name="url">
      <type name="string"/>
    </parameter>
  </parameters>
  <block>
    <var name="content">
      <initialize>
        <new-object>

              </arguments>
            </invoke>
