Can constructors be async?

Question

I have a project where I\'m trying to populate some data in a constructor:

public class ViewModel
{
    public ObservableCollection Data { get;          


        

Answer 1

you can use Action inside Constructor

 public class ViewModel
    {
        public ObservableCollection Data { get; set; }
       public ViewModel()
        {              
            new Action(async () =>
            {
                  Data = await GetDataTask();
            }).Invoke();
        }

        public Task> GetDataTask()
        {
            Task> task;
            //Create a task which represents getting the data
            return task;
        }
    }
