I am trying to bind a gridview using EF 6.0 raw Sql query with Async, but the system goes on for endless execution and task.Result is never populated.

What I have tried:

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var task = LoadDataAsync();
        task.Wait();
        var data = task.Result;
        GridView1.DataSource = data;
        GridView1.DataBind();
    }

private async Task<list<user>> LoadDataAsync()
    {
        List<user> users = null;
        using (var context = new BlogEntities())
        {
            users = await context.Users.SqlQuery("Select * from [User]").ToListAsync();
        }

        return users;

    }

Can anyone please let me know, how to call the async method and get the data bind successfully.

Your code is essentially single threaded. You've got 2 threads, but one is completely blocked waiting on the other. In any case, putting the LoadData code on a background thread, since it's the only thing you're doing, is no different than if you completely skipped all the Task/async/await stuff. You're not getting any performance benefit by threading this.

But, to simply things a bit, you can try it this way:

C#

protected async void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack())
    {
        var result = await LoadDataAsync();
        GridView1.DataSource = result;
        GridView1.DataBind();
    }
}

protected Task<list<user>> LoadDataAsync()
{
    return Task.Factory.StartNew<list<user>>(() =>
    {
        using (var context = new BlogEntities())
        {
            users = context.Users.SqlQuery("SELECT * FROM [User]").ToList();
        }
    }
}
