MVC Asynchronous Controller : The Basics

When I first saw the Asynchronous Controllers introduced in MVC 2, I couldn't wait to start playing around. I thought that it would be a really easy to get up and running with a simple example, but after searching online for a few working examples - pretty much all of them used an event based pattern that wasn't easy to understand. In this blog post I am going to run through a really simple example that will show you the basics of Asynchronous Controllers, and show you how easy they really are.
