asp.net - How can I do an async fetch of all the data from an entity with EF6.1? -

i using webapi , tried scaffold controller. method came fetch id:

    // get: api/examstatus/5     [responsetype(typeof(examstatus))]     public async task<ihttpactionresult> getexamstatus(int id)     {         examstatus examstatus = await db.examstatus.findasync(id);         if (examstatus == null)         {             return notfound();         }          return ok(examstatus);     } 

what if wanted async select of data examstatus entity? can explain how can this?

you try .tolistasync extension method:

[responsetype(typeof(list<examstatus>))] public async task<ihttpactionresult> getexamstatuses() {     var result = await db.examstatus.tolistasync();     return ok(result); } 

obviously select rows in database , serialize them response.
