Solution: CS1061: 'AsyncPageable<GenericResourceExpanded>' does not contain a definition for 'GetAwaiter'
1 min read
I’ve been coding in .NET for a very-long-time, but this tripped me up.
Run the following code:
var resources = await client.Resources.ListByResourceGroupAsync(resourceGroupName);foreach (var resource in resources){ Console.WriteLine(resource.Name);}
```text
And you get this:
```bash
error CS1061: 'AsyncPageable<GenericResourceExpanded>' does not contain a definition for 'GetAwaiter'and no accessible extension method 'GetAwaiter' accepting a first argument of type 'AsyncPageable<GenericResourceExpanded>' could be found(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
```text
I thought I was doing everything right, awaiting an “Async” method. But it turns out with `IAsyncEnumerable` you `await` the result of the call like so:
```csharp
var resources = client.Resources.ListByResourceGroupAsync(resourceGroupName);await foreach (var resource in resources){ Console.WriteLine(resource.Name);}Notice the await foreach?
I hope that helps. Jon
