title: Entities Framework 6 alpha 2 - Async Patterns
body: <p>I recently have a project with MVC 4, .NET 4.5 and using EF 5.0 (Database First) using the EF 5.0 DbContext Generator.  I then upgraded through Nuget Manager to EF 6.0 alpha 2.  I wanted to use the new async patterns but for some reason I dont have .ToListAsync() available. I am referencing the context in a similiar fashion:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class HomeController : Controller
  {
      TestContext db = new TestContext();
  
      public async Task&lt;ActionResult&gt; Index()
      {
          var keywords = await db.Keywords.ToListAsync();
  
          return View(keywords);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is this not available in Database First, and only available in Code First? How can I make something like the example above work? I am using SQL Azure.</p>
