Async Method skips await

Question

I have the following code:

public async Task GetData(Uri source)
{
    if (client.IsBusy == true) 
        client.CancelAsync ();

    Task

        

Answer 1

An async method returns as soon as an await statement is reached, if the thing awaited hasn't finished. Once it completes, the method continues execution after that await statement. Try putting a break point on the return statement and it should get hit twice.
