Async await support in Entity Framework?

Question

I have been looking at async and await. I really like it.

I m curious if there is support for async and await in Entity Framework?

Entity Framework meets the use case of async/await support and if I want to use async/await with Entity Framework, how would I do it?

ie: I was able to have a wrapper around redis (booksleeve).

So when I have a repository pattern, can I use async / await with EF? how?

Answer 1

Get EF 6 from NuGet in the NuGet console PM> Install-Package EntityFramework -Pre You will need to add and remove some references

Answer 2

Direct support of async and await was a highly requested suggestion on UserVoice for Entity Framework, and is scheduled to be included in EF 6.
