Splunk Search

Why is .net SDK unable to run a blocking search?

Hello all, if anybody had luck running a blocking search using the C# SDK, would appreciate your help.

I am trying to run a blocking search from a C# application. This is my code:

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate { return true; };
var service = new Service(new Uri("mySplunkURL:8089"));
await service.LogOnAsync("username", "password");

SearchResultStream searchResultStream;
Job job;

job = await service.Jobs.CreateAsync(
"search index=_internal | head 10"
,new JobArgs() { ExecutionMode = ExecutionMode.Blocking });

At this point, I get an error that says
JobArgs does not contain a definition for 'ExecutionMode' 
I am following the documentation on the Splunk site, and doing exactly same 
https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/devtools/csharp/sdk-csharp/howdoicsharp2x/howtorunsearches

I don't know what am I missing here? Any help is greatly appreciated !!

hey yes, this is how I did it. 

SearchResultStream searchResultStream; 
 Job job;
  
 //create a job, setting the execution mode to "blocking"
 job = await service.Jobs.CreateAsync("yoursearchstring");
  
 // print search results
 IEnumerable<SearchResult> myresults;
 using (searchResultStream = await job.GetSearchResultsAsync())
 {
 myresults = searchResultStream.AsEnumerable<SearchResult>();
 foreach (SearchResult result in searchResultStream)
 {
 _time = Convert.ToDateTime(result.GetValue("_time"));
 UserName = result.GetValue("UserName");
 ComputerName = result.GetValue("ComputerName");
 }
 }
