How to handle async calls in custom workflows

Hi everyone,

What is the best way to make an async http request within a custom code activity ?

Making the function

protected override void Execute(CodeActivityContext executionContext)

async to be able to use the await keyword is not working for me. I get an error saying the real time workflow is not working..

Using .Result instead of await and leaving the initial function as it is is working but I wonder if this is the correct way of doing it?

I found a post talking about a wrapper to implement async code activities. Does anyone tried this?

Thanks,
