Answer 1

In non-async method you can either start the Task asynchronously and not wait for the result:

public void MyCallingMethod()
{
    Task t = myMethodAsync();
}

or you can attach ContinueWith event handler, which is called after finishing the Task,

public void MyCallingMethod()
{
    myMethodAsync().ContinueWith(
        result =>
        {
            // do stuff with the result
        });
}

or you can get the result from the Task synchronously:

public string MyCallingMethod()
{
    string result = myMethodAsync().Result;
    return result;
}
