   if (DisplayType.SelectedValue == "1")
        {
            Form.Action = txt_payment_gateway_url.Text;
        }
        else if (DisplayType.SelectedValue == "2")
        {
            RedirectionURL.Value = txt_payment_gateway_url.Text;
        }

in asp.net core appliction im using this code to post the encryptd request to external apllication

     var result = PostEncryptedData(data, VM.PaymentGatewayURL);
   
   private async Task<HttpResponseMessage> PostEncryptedData1(Dictionary<string, string> encryptedData, string url)
    {
        HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
        List<KeyValuePair<string, string>> keyValuePairs = encryptedData.ToList();

        return await client.PostAsync(url, content);

    }

but during debug, it give me the result is not computed as shown Result is not computed

Answer 1

it has to be var result = await PostEncryptedData(data, VM.PaymentGatewayURL); . you missed the await

Public async Task<your required return type> YourMethodName()
{ 
 var result = await PostEncryptedData(data, VM.PaymentGatewayURL);
 
}
