Most of the code I've written in .NET to make REST calls have been synchronous. Since Silverlight on Windows Phone only supports Async WebClient and HttpWebRequest calls, I was wondering what a good async pattern is for a Class that exposes methods that make REST calls.

I have download and installed Visual Studio 2010 RC and I want to develop for the new Windows Phone 7.
