Question

If I have an async method :

public async Task MyMethodAsync()
{
   // [.. Some synchronous code here ..]

   await AnotherAsyncMethod();
}

And at some point in my code I call it like that :

await MyMethodAsync();

Will this statement immediately return to the caller without even entering the MyMehodAsync ? I guess so but not sure.

If I want the call to MyMethodAsync to first execute the [.. Some synchronous code here ..] part immediately, should I rather do :

var t = MyMethodAsync(); 
await t;                 

Thanks

Answer 1

[.. Some synchronous code here ..] 

will execute synchronously until the first await yields control. You’re doing it right. Your last example is exactly the same as your previous in terms of what gets executed synchronously.
