FileIO.ReadAllBytes in Windows 8 app

I'm trying to use FileIO.ReadAllBytes and File.ReadAllBytes in my Win 8 app but there is an error:

'Windows.Storage.FileIO' does not contain a definition for 'ReadAllBytes'

My code:

byte[] bytes = FileIO.ReadAllBytes(@"image.png");
string encoded = Convert.ToBase64String(bytes);
string content = "file1=" + encoded + "";

There simply is no such method. And that figures, the FileIO class does not support synchronous methods.

The closest match is ReadBufferAsync. Look at the sample and note the await in the call.
