TPL on PCL of mvvmcross

Question

I see i can\'t use TPL in the CORE projects.

Is the PCL doesn\'t support System.Threading.Tasks? (i checked on profile104 and there is no System.Threading.Tasks name

Answer 1

There are several ways to use TPL with portable class libraries.

1. You can use a profile like 104 and extend it with the BCL AsyncBridge support classes. For more on this see http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2012/3-004 and the resources. Several people have done this - but I don't know of anyone who's fully documented the process.
2. You can use a profile like 78 which supports TPL and await/async natively - but this doesn't support WP7.x

This should be much easier when the official Xamarin PCL support is available
