## Asynchronous Primitives

A method that performs a single asynchronous task and returns the result is called an *asynchronous primitive*, and these are designed specifically for use with `let!`. Several asynchronous primitives are defined in the F# core library. Two such methods for Web applications are defined in the module [`FSharp.Control.WebExtensions`](https://fsharp.github.io/fsharp-core-docs/reference/fsharp-control-webextensions.html): [`WebRequest.AsyncGetResponse`](https://fsharp.github.io/fsharp-core-docs/reference/fsharp-control-webextensions.html#AsyncGetResponse) and [`WebClient.AsyncDownloadString`](https://fsharp.github.io/fsharp-core-docs/reference/fsharp-control-webextensions.html#AsyncDownloadString). Both primitives download data from a Web page, given a URL. `AsyncGetResponse` produces a `System.Net.WebResponse` object, and `AsyncDownloadString` produces a string that represents the HTML for a Web page.

Both primitives download data from a Web page, given a URL. `AsyncGetResponse` produces a `System.Net.WebResponse` object, and `GetStringAsync` produces a string that represents the HTML for a Web page.

Several primitives for asynchronous I/O operations are included in the [`FSharp.Control.CommonExtensions`](https://fsharp.github.io/fsharp-core-docs/reference/fsharp-control-commonextensions.html) module. These extension methods of the `System.IO.Stream` class are [`Stream.AsyncRead`](https://fsharp.github.io/fsharp-core-docs/reference/fsharp-control-commonextensions.html#AsyncRead) and [`Stream.AsyncWrite`](https://fsharp.github.io/fsharp-core-docs/reference/fsharp-control-commonextensions.html#AsyncWrite).
