Api v2 .Net4.0 no Task.Run method

I got a new app working from home on .Net4.5, using your example code:

var task = Task.Run((Func<Task>)MainWindow.GetCurrentAccount);
task.Wait();

However, at work they use .Net4.0, so I targeted that version.
Now the compiler tells me:

Error    'System.Threading.Tasks.Task' does not contain a definition for 'Run'

How should I do calls now?

Best regards, Frans

    Hi Frans,

    async Task library is shipped with .Net 4.5 which is not available for .Net 4.0. You can use TaskEx.Run instead which is part of the BCL library that Dropbox SDK depends on.
