Hi There,

I'm experiencing the following the issue with using the new async, await functionality in ASP.NET MVC.
When for example the controller action only performs an await in certain cases, in the cases where the await does not execute, the view never returns to the browse and it simply keeps trying to load indefinitely.
Below is a Sample Controller Action to demonstrate:

//

    // GET: /Development/Example

    public async Task<ActionResult> Example()
    {
        //When IsLoaded is set to true, this view is never returned to the browser.
        Boolean IsLoaded = true;
        if (!IsLoaded)
        {
            //Perform a time consuming operation that requires an await here, when IsLoaded is false.
            //For example remote data must be read because it has not been loaded.
            await Task.Run(() => { System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100); });

        }else
        {
            //If However IsLoaded is true, the time consuming operation does not have to be performed.
            //For example the remote data has already been loaded.
        }

        //Finally return a View as usual
        return View();
    }

I'm not sure if this is the expected behavior (Or I am not understanding correct the usage of the async, await functionality ) and if so guidance relating to how I should get around this would be hugely appreciated?
I tried reproducing it in a Win Forms application using async and await and I couldn't get it to go wrong there, so that's why i'm posting here.
Currently as a work around I have added a Task.Run(() => { System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1); }); to mimic an await operation when no other wait is performed however this is far from ideal.

Thanks for your time!
