C# Blazor WebAssembly: Argument 2: cannot convert from 'void' to 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.EventCallback'

C# Blazor WebAssembly: Argument 2: cannot convert from 'void' to 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.EventCallback'

The error message "Argument 2: cannot convert from 'void' to 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.EventCallback'" occurs when you are trying to assign a void method to an EventCallback in a Blazor WebAssembly application.

An EventCallback is a type that is used to pass event handlers between components in Blazor. It is a generic type that can be used to wrap an action method, that is executed when the event occurs.

To fix this error, you need to make sure that the method you are trying to assign to the EventCallback returns Task instead of void. This is because Blazor event handlers should be async and return a Task in order to properly handle exceptions and ensure that the UI remains responsive during long-running operations.

Here's an example of how to properly define an EventCallback that wraps an async method:

private async Task HandleButtonClick() { // Do something async } private EventCallback _buttonClickCallback; protected override void OnInitialized() { _buttonClickCallback = EventCallback.Factory.Create(this, HandleButtonClick); }

In this example, HandleButtonClick is an async method that is assigned to the _buttonClickCallback field using the EventCallback.Factory.Create method. This method creates a new EventCallback instance that wraps the HandleButtonClick method and ensures that it is executed asynchronously.
