Since you are using .Result or .Wait or await this will end up causing a deadlock in your code.

you can use ConfigureAwait(false) in async methods for preventing deadlock

                             .ConfigureAwait(false);

you can use ConfigureAwait(false) wherever possible for Don't Block Async Code .
