When I try to create a document in my DocumentDB database using the following code, the code hangs where I call CreateDocumentAsync() and eventually gives me "A task was cancelled" error.
Any idea why?
public static async Task<Employee> CreateEmployee(Employee emp)
{
try
{
using (client = new DocumentClient(new Uri(endPointUrl), authorizationKey))
{
//Get the database
var database = await GetDatabaseAsync();
//Get the Document Collection
var collection = await GetCollectionAsync(database.SelfLink, "Employees");
await client.CreateDocumentAsync(collection.SelfLink, emp);
// Do something else with employee
}
}
catch
{
// Handle error
}
return emp;
}
P.S. For brevity, I didn't include the code for GetDatabaseAsync() and GetCollectionsAsync() sections. Please note that the employee document IS created in my database. So, this code clearly connects to the DocumentDB database, finds the collection and creates the document.
Just not sure why it hangs and eventually returns the error.
