How to synchronously execute an async Task<T> method in C#?
Hello everyone! I'm writing a console application in C# (.NET Framework 4.7.2) and encountered a problem. I have an async method that returns Task:
```csharp
public async Task GetDataAsync()
{
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
var result = await client.GetStringAsync("https://api.example.com/data");
return result;
}
}
```
The problem is that I'm calling this method from a synchronous context, for example, from a class constructor or from the Main method (which is not async). I cannot make the calling method async because it would break the architecture (for example, a constructor cannot be async).
I've tried different approaches:
- `GetDataAsync().Result` — the program hangs (deadlock).
- `GetDataAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult`
