using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;

public void Run()

Console.WriteLine();
ClientContext clientContext =
new ClientContext("https://intranet.contoso.com");

IEnumerable<List> newListCollection = clientContext.LoadQuery(
lists.Include(
list => list.Title));
AsynchronousDelegate executeQueryAsynchronously =
new AsynchronousDelegate(clientContext.ExecuteQuery);

foreach (List list in newListCollection)
Console.WriteLine("Title: {0}", list.Title);
}, null);
}
}

Following is the same example using fully qualified names for better discoverability.

Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("In a real application, the application can");
Console.WriteLine("continue to be responsive to the user.");
Console.WriteLine();
Console.ReadKey();
}
}

class AsynchronousAccess
{
delegate void AsynchronousDelegate();

public void Run()
