VSTHRD100 Avoid async void methods

Methods with async void signatures make it impossible for their caller to track the entire asynchronous operation and handle exceptions that may be thrown by that method. If the method throws an exception, it crashes the process.

Examples of patterns that are flagged by this analyzer

async void DoSomethingAsync()
{
    await SomethingElseAsync();
}

Solution

Change the method to return Task instead of void.

async Task DoSomethingAsync()
{
    await SomethingElseAsync();
}

A code fix is offered that automatically changes the return type of the method.
