How should I implement ExecuteAsync with RestSharp on Windows Phone 7?

As an alternative (or complement) to the fine answer by Gusten. You can use ExecuteAsync. This way you do not manually have to handle TaskCompletionSource. Note the async keyword in the signature.

Update: As of 106.4.0 ExecuteTaskAsync is obsolete. Since 104.2 you should use ExecuteAsync instead:

public async Task<T> ExecuteAsync<T>(RestRequest request) where T : new()
{
    var client = new RestClient();
    client.BaseUrl = BaseUrl;
    client.Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator(_accountSid, _secretKey);
    request.AddParameter("AccountSid", _accountSid, ParameterType.UrlSegment);
    IRestResponse<T> response = await client.ExecuteAsync<T>(request);
    return response.Data;
}

Old Answer:

public async Task<T> ExecuteAsync<T>(RestRequest request) where T : new()
{
    var client = new RestClient();
    client.BaseUrl = BaseUrl;
    client.Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator(_accountSid, _secretKey);
    request.AddParameter("AccountSid", _accountSid, ParameterType.UrlSegment);
    IRestResponse<T> response = await client.ExecuteTaskAsync<T>(request); // Now obsolete
    return response.Data;
}

Old question but if you are using C# 5 you can have a generic execute class by creating a TaskCompleteSource that resturns a Task of T. Your code could look like this:

public Task<T> ExecuteAsync<T>(RestRequest request) where T : new()
    {
        var client = new RestClient();
        var taskCompletionSource = new TaskCompletionSource<T>();
        client.BaseUrl = BaseUrl;
        client.Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator(_accountSid, _secretKey);
        request.AddParameter("AccountSid", _accountSid, ParameterType.UrlSegment);
        client.ExecuteAsync<T>(request, (response) => taskCompletionSource.SetResult(response.Data));
        return taskCompletionSource.Task;
    }

And use it like this:

private async Task DoWork()
    {
        var api = new HarooApi("MyAcoountId", "MySecret");
        var request = new RestRequest();
        var myClass = await api.ExecuteAsync<MyClass>(request);

        // Do something with myClass
    }
