Call async method in constructor?
2
I used to call async methods (fire and forgot?) in constructors by
Task.Run(async () => await CallAsync());
I heard it's better to use ICommand to execute it.
ICommand MyCmd => new Command(async () => await CallAsync());
public MyClass()
{
MyCmd.Execute(null);
}
What's the difference between these two methods?

You shouldnt perform any processing in constructors in the first place

@FCin, it says initializing the WinForms controls in the constructor can be much faster in this question, stackoverflow.com/questions/2521322/….

This refers to updating controls. I'm talking about processing/retrieving data which I assume you do, because you clearly await something. Also, you haven't tagged your question with what framework you are using. WinForms I assume?

You're violating the expectation that when a constructor returns, the object is correctly initialized and ready to be used. Consider instead using a factory that performs the async works and passes the results of that work into an appropriately parameterized constructor for this class instead. That factory method can beasync.
