i had the same problem with WP7 i solved this method.await is not working wp7 but if you use Action you will callback Async functions

     public void Download()
     { 
         DownloadString((result) =>
         {
             //!!Require to import Newtonsoft.Json.dll for JObject!!
             JObject fdata= JObject.Parse(result);
             listbox1.Items.Add(fdata["name"].ToString());

         }, "http://graph.facebook.com/zuck");

    }

    public void DownloadString(Action callback, string url)
    {
        WebClient client = new WebClient();
        client.DownloadStringCompleted += (p, q) =>
        {
            if (q.Error == null)
            {
                callback(q.Result);

            }

        };

        client.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri(url));

    }
