When you use await the code will wait for the async function to finish. This should be done when you need a value from an async function, like this case:
int salary = await CalculateSalary();
...
async Task CalculateSalary()
{
//Start high cpu usage task
...
//End high cpu usage task
return salary;
}
If you hadn't use the the await this would happen:
int salary = CalculateSalary().Result;
...
async Task CalculateSalary()
{
//Start high cpu usage task
... //In some line of code the function finishes returning null because we didn't wait the function to finish
return salary; //This never runs
}
Await means, wait this async function to finish.
Use it to your needs, your case 1 and 2 would produce the same result, as long as you await when you assign the info value the code will be safe.
