Cannot convert System.Threading.Task.Tasks to System.Func<System.Func<System.Threading.Tasks.Task>

Question

My code:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    PageAsyncTask t = new PageAsyncTask(cancelPayPalAsync());

    Page.RegisterAsyncTask(t);

    // Execute the register asynchronous task.
    Page.ExecuteRegisteredAsyncTasks();
}

Which calls:

public async Task cancelPayPalAsync()
{
//Leaving blank for security reasons        
}

This line here: PageAsyncTask t = new PageAsyncTask(cancelPayPalAsync()); more specifically cancelPayPalAsync is spitting out the error

Cannot convert System.Threading.Task.Tasks to System.Func<System.Func<System.Threading.Tasks.Task>

I'm aiming to make the page wait for my code to execute before loading, using my Async method. I don't know how to deal with this problem, and I don't see any solutions on the internet/stackoverflow.

Thanks!

As Guru Stron pointed out in a comment, adding the () to PageAsyncTask t = new PageAsyncTask(cancelPayPalAsync()); makes it refer to a function that returns a task rather than the task itself.

PageAsyncTask t = new PageAsyncTask(cancelPayPalAsync); will work.
