Casting TResult in Task to System.Object

Question

I am loading an assembly and calling a static method that will create a new object of type “MyClass1” (this type is specified at runtime) through reflection using MethodInfo

Answer 1

As an enhancement to the accepted answer, you can avoid the blocking by awaiting the Task in between:

var task = (Task)mi.Invoke(obj, null);
await task;
var result = task.GetType().GetProperty("Result").GetValue(task);

Of course this will be properly asynchronous only if all methods up the call stack are marked async and you're using await instead of .Result everywhere.
