Returning ``++Nothing++`` from a non-``++asyn{cpp}`` ``++Task++``/``++Task(Of T)++`` method will cause a ``++NullReferenceException++`` at runtime. This problem can be avoided by returning ``++Task.FromResult(Of T)(Nothing)++`` instead.

== Noncompliant Code Example

----
Public Function GetFooAsync() As Task(Of Object)
    Return Nothing
End Function
----

== Compliant Solution

----
Public Function GetFooAsync() As Task(Of Object)
    Return Task.FromResult(Of Object)(Nothing)
End Function
----
