## LinqToAwait

In a world where many methods return `Task` or other Awaitable types

(especially in WinRT), LINQ can't be used nearly as easily. Enter LinqToAwait:

```

using System;

using System.Reactive.Linq;

using LinqToAwait;

var inputs = new[] { 

    "http://www.google.com", 

    "http://www.yahoo.com", 

    "http://www.aol.com", 

};

IEnumerable results = await inputs.AsAsync()

    .WhereAsync(async x => await IsPageInTop10WebSitesByTrafficAsync(x))

    .SelectAsync(async x => await DownloadPageAsync(x))

    .Select(x => x.Substring(0, 50))

    .GetResults();

>>> ["...."]

```

### Where does this work?

You're going to need Visual Studio 2012 - you can use LinqToAwait with .NET 4.5 applications.

### Hey, isn't this kind of like Rx?

It **is** Rx! However, it is a simplification of the API used for a more

specific use-case. Instead of choosing async/await *or* Rx, LinqToAwait helps

you use both at the same time, applying the most straightforward technique for

the particular problem.

### How do I get started?

It's .NET, how else? [Use NuGet!](http://nuget.org/packages/linqtoawait).

```

Install-Package LinqToAwait

```
