And here is the code for the AsyncReturningTaskExample() method:

private async static Task AsyncReturningTaskExample() {      Task<string> task = DoSomethingFaulty();      Console.WriteLine("This should not execute");      try      {           task.ContinueWith((s) =>           {             Console.WriteLine(s);           });      }      catch (Exception ex)      {       Console.WriteLine(ex.Message); Console.WriteLine(ex.StackTrace); ...
