c# - What is the return of Task? -

for past few weeks, have been looking @ tasks , struggled them. 1 of things have struggled creating awaitable method has no return type.

now non awaitable methods work this:

//this method return type: private string methodwithreturn() {      return "this string return type"; } //this method without return type private void methodwithoutreturn() {     //some random code has no return } 

now when comes tasks, it's complicated. there 3 types: void, task , task<t> void not recommended @ all, left 2 tasks. here problem. want have task without return type , code:

private task tasktypemethod() {     //some random code } 

the issue here still issues warning "not code paths return value". understanding tasks incorrectly or doing wrong here?

i told add async before it, requires me use await keyword inside code block, won't using.

without returning task, how caller find out when async computation presumably running completed? if nobody needs know, make method return task , have return value ignored. if not possible reason can use async void.

how generate task return not important know callers. easy way make method async task.

the issue here still issues warning "not code paths return value".

well, error makes sense. promise return don't. can't work. either hold of task , return or use async task. maybe need find out async means.
