Possible Duplicate: Why does the async keyword exist I have two methods. One is a normal method ( MyMethod ) and one is an async method ( MyMethodAsync ). I get a compilation error. static string MyMethod() { var result = await MyMethodAsync(); // compile error here return result; } async static Task<string> MyMethodAsync() { /** perform my logic here... **/ Thread.Sleep(1000); return "yes"; } The error message is The 'await' operator can only be used within an async method. Consider marking this method with the 'async' modifier and changing its return type to 'Task'. I'm confused. When I use the await keyword, the calling thread will be suspended and wait for task completion. So once await is in use, the method is no longer an async method. Right? Remark: I know I should put the logic in MyMethod and MyMethodAsync calls MyMethod to achieve what I want.
