If you want to call an asynchronous method Start() from the Main method, you'll need to make the Main method asynchronous as well.
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
class Program
{
static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
await Start();
}
static async Task Start()
{
}
}
If you prefer not to make the Main method asynchronous, you can achieve this by running the asynchronous method Start() synchronously using Task.Run() inside Main().
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Task.Run(() => Start()).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
}
static async Task Start()
{
}
}

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
class Program
{
static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
// Call the Start method asynchronously
await Start();
}
static async Task Start()
{
// Your async code inside the Start method
Console.WriteLine("Starting...");
// Simulate an asynchronous operation with Task.Delay
await Task.Delay(2000); // This delays execution by 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds)
Console.WriteLine("Done!");
}

Hi
It is giving message The await operator can only be used within an async method.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
await Start();
}
static async Task Start()
{}
