Eyedropper example

[ignatvs]

There is something missing in the code examples:

var eyedropper = new Eyedropper(); var color = await eyedropper.Open();

it gives Error CS4033 The 'await' operator can only be used within an async method. Consider marking this method with the 'async' modifier and changing its return type to 'Task'. EyesDrpperApp

@ignatvs as the error message says, you need to make your method async to use the await for the async method on the EyeDropper.
