Hi,

I'm new at Umbraco development.

I tried to use async tasks in a surface controller but  no luck.

I saw this thread http://our.umbraco.org/forum/core/general/44771-Asynchronous-action-Umbraco-v6

and this suggested solution

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23006976/async-controller-action-with-umbraco-7-returns-string

is that best practice? and can/should I hook it somehow in a global way?

Thanks in advance.
