Synchronous Programming

Overview

It is strongly recommended to use async programming practices for better performance and responsive apps. However, some legacy apps cannot use asynchronous programming.

MSAL dotnet is based on Task based Asynchronous Pattern (TAP). This page provides links to guidance about how to use async methods in a synchronous way. This has no one solution that fits all. So various best practices are recommended.

Calling Asynchronous methods from Synchronous code

There are several ways to run asynchronous code from a synchronous code. Various links are listed here.

Task Run Synchronously

Waits for task to complete

Wait to get result

If you need to run multiple tasks at a time prior to wrapping them, it may be useful to take a look at this one. Consuming the Task-based Asynchronous Pattern

Also, watch out for exceptions and deadlocks.
