Return Task<bool> instantly

Solution 1:

in .NET 4.5 you can use FromResult to immediately return a result for your task.

public Task<bool> MyTask()
{
    return TaskEx.FromResult(false);
}

For Windows Phone 8.1 and higher, the API has been merged to be consistent with other platforms:

public Task<bool> MyTask()
{
    return Task.FromResult(false);
}

Solution 2:

Prior to .NET 4.5, you can use TaskCompletionSource<TResult> to simulate the FromResult method.

public static Task<TResult> FromResult<TResult>(TResult result)
{
    var completionSource = new TaskCompletionSource<TResult>();
    completionSource.SetResult(result);
    return completionSource.Task;
}
