Where do I mark a lambda expression async?

Question

I\'ve got this code:

private async void ContextMenuForGroupRightTapped(object sender, RightTappedRoutedEventArgs args)
{
    CheckBox ckbx = null;
    if (se         


        

Answer 1

To mark a lambda async, simply prepend async before its argument list:

// Add a command to delete the current Group
contextMenu.Commands.Add(new UICommand("Delete this Group", async (contextMenuCmd) =>
{
    SQLiteUtils slu = new SQLiteUtils();
    await slu.DeleteGroupAsync(groupName);
}));

And for those of you using an anonymous expression:

await Task.Run(async () =>
{
   SQLLiteUtils slu = new SQLiteUtils();
   await slu.DeleteGroupAsync(groupname);
});
