Every time I try to use the new Async and Await operators and return a collection of objects from a database I get an Invalid Operation exception. When I use it to only return a single Item it works fine.
Controller Code:
public async Task<ActionResult> EnvironmentList()
{
EfEnvironmentDataAccess dataAccess = new EfEnvironmentDataAccess();
ICollection<Environment> environments = await dataAccess.GetAllEnvironmentsAsync();
return PartialView(environments);
}
View Code:
<div class="ECURightCol">
<h3>Table Dumps</h3>
@Html.Action("EnvironmentList", "Environment")
@Html.Action("ComputerList", "Computer")
@Html.Action("ProductList", "Product")
@Html.Action("InstanceList", "Instance")
@Html.Action("ProfileList", "Profile")
The Data Access Code:
public ICollection<Environment> GetAllEnvironments()
{
using (EcuWebDataContext db = new EcuWebDataContext())
{
return db.Environments.OrderBy(e => e.Name).ToList();
}
}
public async Task<ICollection<Environment>> GetAllEnvironmentsAsync()
{
return await Task.Run(() => GetAllEnvironments());
}
The Error I get is:
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: HttpServerUtility.Execute blocked while waiting for an asynchronous operation to complete.
