Why can't I catch an exception from async code?

Question

Everywhere I read it says the following code should work, but it doesn\'t.

public async Task DoSomething(int x)
{
   try
   {
      // Asynchronous implemen         


        

Answer 1

Instead of using await, access the Task.Result property and put a try and catch around that access. You can also follow the example here and try that style.

Keep in mind that all exceptions thrown inside the context of a task thread are wrapped in an AggregateException.
