Old-style async methods missing in new version of Rebex components

Question

I just tried to move one of our projects to .net framework 4.0. The result was, that I got a lot of compilation errors with asynchronous functions like "Beginn Connect" and "EndConnect".

Can you please tell me, what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

By default, .NET 4.0 assemblies only present a Task-based pattern (TAP) asynchronous API. Please include the Rebex.Legacy namespace in your program to make your existing code compile:

using Rebex.Legacy;

Rebex.Legacy namespace defines all the Begin/End methods as extension methods, making it possible to use to easily port your old code to newer versions of Rebex components on .NET 4.0 or higher.

This applies to versions since version 2012 R3 (build number 4700).
