How can I call async method from constructor?

Question

I need to call a async method from my Form1 constructor. Since a constructor can't have a return type, I can't add a async void. I read that static constructor can be async but I need to call methods from constructor that aren't static, such as InitializeComponent() (since it's the Form's constructor).

The class is:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    InitializeComponent();
    //some stuff
    await myMethod();
}

I read this one too but I still don't know how to implement this (in my case) since the method still requires to use async.

Don't do this in the constructor but in the loaded event of the window instead. You can mark the loaded eventhandler as async.
