'await' works, but calling task.Result hangs/deadlocks

Question

I have the following four tests and the last one hangs when I run it. Why does this happen:

[Test]
public void CheckOnceResultTest()
{
    Assert.IsTrue(Check         


        

Answer 1

You are blocking the UI by using Task.Result property. In MSDN Documentation they have clearly mentioned that,

"The Result property is a blocking property. If you try to access it before its task is finished, the thread that's currently active is blocked until the task completes and the value is available. In most cases, you should access the value by using Await or await instead of accessing the property directly."

The best solution for this scenario would be to remove both await & async from methods & use only Task where you're returning result. It won't mess your execution sequence.
