c# - Calling async method synchronously -

i have async method:

public async task<string> generatecodeasync() {     string code = await generatecodeservice.generatecodeasync();     return code; } 

i need call method synchronous method.

how can without having duplicate generatecodeasync method in order work synchronously?

update

yet no reasonable solution found.

however, see httpclient implements pattern

using (httpclient client = new httpclient()) {     // async     httpresponsemessage responseasync = await client.getasync(url);      // sync     httpresponsemessage responsesync = client.getasync(url).result; } 

you can access result property of task, cause thread block until result available:

string code = generatecodeasync().result; 

note: in cases, might lead deadlock: call result blocks main thread, thereby preventing remainder of async code execute. have following options make sure doesn't happen:

• add .configureawait(false) library method or

• explicitly execute async method in thread pool thread , wait finish:

  string code = task.run(generatecodeasync).result;
