I have created a asp.net core webapi controller named StudentsController.cs using the functionality provided by Visual Studio which is API Controller with actions,using Entity Framework. It implements all the controller methods with return type async Task<ActionResult<>> which is asynchronous method implementation and it is auto generated by Visual Studio
Question is Why it creates all the methods async by its own and how can I create all the methods synchronously using the same auto generate feature of Visual Studio?
