I have some legacy code that uses asmx web methods. I have no control over the decision to use any other technology but I need to modify it a little.

The method currently returns a custom object, but I need to modify it to call an awaited method, so the method should now become async and the return value is now forced to become Task<Object>

Is there a way to return Object instead of Task<Object> ? Here's a sample of my code:

[WebMethod]
public async Task<Foo> DoSomethingAwaited()
        {

           return await WaitForMe();

        }
