c# start async method within object constructor - bad practice? [closed]

Answer 1

This is easily accomplished with a slightly different approach. In all reality, this happens all the time, doesn't it? Here's a simple solution to give you an option without doing something dumb:

public class MyResource
{
    // do this instead of a constructor
    public async Task StartAsync()
    {
        await Task.Delay(1);
        return this;
    }
}

public class MyControl
{
    public MyResource Resource { get; set; }
    async void Button_Click(object s, EventArgs e)
    {
        // call start as if it is a constructor
        this.Resource = await new MyResource().StartAsync();
    }
}
