[Mono-aspnet-list] Mono Asp.NET MVC 4 and async actions

[Daniel J. Summers]

According to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.asynccontroller(v=vs.108).aspx
,
the "AsyncController" only exists for backwards compatibility with MVC 3.
 "Controller" in MVC 4 implements the Async patterns itself.  You should be
good to go with just the signature change on your action.  You might also
want to try the the async keyword (.NET 4.5) on your signature - "public
async Task<ActionResult> Index()", although the compiler will issue a
warning if you don't have at least one "await" statement within the
controller.  If you're not awaiting anything, your controller itself isn't
really async, although returning the task lets the framework sleep until
the controller is done with its logic.

(Not sure whether that's the problem or not; I'm not at a place where I can
verify it.  But, it would help to isolate the change that's breaking, and
if it fixes it, you'd be on your way.)
