@await RenderSectionAsync giving "Cannot await method group" error

Question

I am creating a razor application consisting of two simple user inputs and two navigation tabs with 'save' and 'cancel' button for the user inputs. I have pasted below part of the _Layout.cshtml code giving the titled error. Am I missing something ?

 </header>
````    <div class="container">`

`        <main role="main" class="pb-3">`

`            @RenderBody ( )`

`        </main>`

`    </div>`

`    <footer class="border-top footer text-muted">`

`        <div class="container">`

`            &copy; 2023 - Landing Page`

`        </div>`

`    </footer>`

`    <script src="~/lib/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"></script>`

`    <script src="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>`

`    <script src="~/js/site.js" asp-append-version="true"></script>`

`    `**`@await RenderSectionAsync`**` ("Scripts", required:false)`

`</body>`

`</html>`

Answer 1

Hi @Akhil Josef , I can reproduce your issue in my side with your codes, could you please remove the "space" in your @await RenderSectionAsync("Scripts", required:false) ? The same for @RenderBody(), you should remove the space.

hi @Tiny Wang-MSFT , thanks a lot for the point out. It worked and I think I must be more careful on formatting the code files to avoid this in future.
