title: ASP.NET MVC 5 How to invoke an async method from the view
body: <p>My model has an async method which I would like to invoke from within a view, i.e. something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Ajax.ActionLink(await Model.GetCaptionAsync(), ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The VS 2015 IDE however complains that await can only be used from within an async method.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a reasonable way to invoke an async mehthod from within a view (i.e. not using .Result but keeping the async flow)?</p>
