var serviceCreds = await ApplicationTokenProvider.LoginSilentAsync(tenantDomain, clientId, secret);

This methods never returns. Debug output displays the following :

Question: how do I connect ? Thanks.

Answer 1

According to your description, I guess the reason why this methods never returns is you called the async method in the sync Controller method with wait keywords.

If you call the getResultAsync as below, it will never return the result :

    public ActionResult Index()
    {
       getResultAsync().Wait();
        return View();
    }

    public static async Task getResultAsync()
    {
        string subscription = "subid";

        string tenantid = "tenantid ";
        string clientId = "clientId ";
        string key = "key";

        var serviceCreds = await ApplicationTokenProvider.LoginSilentAsync(tenantDomain, clientId, key);

        BillingManagementClient b1 = new BillingManagementClient(serviceCreds) { SubscriptionId = subscription };


        var result = b1.Operations.List();

    }

I suggest you could change the index method as below, it will work well:

   public async Task<ActionResult> Index()
        {
            await getResultAsync();
            return View();
        }

Result:
