The best approach to converting existing synchronous code into asynchronous code is to start at the lower-level layers and work your way up toward the user levels. If your code doesn’t have well-defined layers, you can still do it; it will just be a bit more difficult.

Async Programming - Patterns for Asynchronous MVVM Applications: Data Binding
Mon, 03 Mar 2014 10:00:00 GMT
Async and Await are great, but they don't fit seamlessly with MVVM. This is the first in a series of articles that will explore using async within an MVVM application. This article covers how to use tasks with data binding, essentially creating an 'asynchronous property.'
