How to implement guide with async task returning null in c# 9 when using configureawait(false)
I'm working with a strange scenario in my C# 9 application where I have an `async` method that sometimes returns `null` even though I expect a value. The method retrieves data from an API using `HttpClient`, and I use `ConfigureAwait(false)` to avoid deadlocks in a UI context. My code looks like this: ```csharp public async Task<MyDataObject> GetDataAsync(string apiUrl) { using (var client = new HttpClient()) { var response = await client.GetAsync(apiUrl).ConfigureAwait(false); if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode) { var json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().ConfigureAwait(false); return JsonSerializer.Deserialize<MyDataObject>(json); } else { // Log or handle behavior return null; } } } ``` The API call works fine most of the time, but occasionally, I receive a `null` back when I call this method. I've added logging to check the response status and the JSON returned. When the `null` is returned, the API status code is `200`, and the JSON string looks valid, yet the deserialization fails silently. I've verified that `MyDataObject` matches the JSON structure. I also tried removing `ConfigureAwait(false)`, but that didn't resolve the scenario. Could this be related to the JSON deserializer, or am I missing something in handling the response? Also, I checked if there are any exceptions being thrown, but I'm not catching any in my try-catch blocks. Any insights on what might be causing this behavior would be greatly appreciated! What's the best practice here?
