C# Make Task Threads Foreground

Question

I am using Task to create and perform some operations by a different thread, once the operation is done I also have called back to be called.

 System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
                   this._httpService.CreateRecord(new Uri(Configuration.Current.CreateRecordUrl), httpObj)).ContinueWith(
                   (response) =>
                   {
                       if (!response.IsFaulted)
                       {
                           if (httpObj.CallBack != null)
                           {
                               httpObj.CallBack(response.Result);
                           }
                       }
                       else {
                           this._logger.Error("There was some error which causes the task to fail");


                       }
                   });

My console application's main thread is not waiting for the Task thread to complete, because it's background thread. How can I make task thread foreground thread?

Thanks

StartNew() method returns a Task instance. Calling Wait() method on the returned task will block the main thread until the task finishes.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var task = Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
    {
        // ...
    });
    task.Wait(); // The main application thread waits here until the task returns
}
