MVC Task Controller

I need to run async Task Action in a MVC4 controller. In some articles it is stated that my controller needs to inherit AsyncController, and in some it does not.

for example in this sample:

http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-4/using-asynchronous-methods-in-aspnet-mvc-4 it's not.

  1. Which is it?. In order to run async controller Actions, is it necessary for my controller to inherit "AsyncController"??

You dont need inherit from async controller for asynschrnous actions. Below is the example. 

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public async Task<ActionResult> Index()
    {
         DataServiceClient client = new DataServiceClient();
         var cities = await client.GetCitiesAsync();
        return View(cities);
     }
}
