Question: I have run into the problem of sending data, a simple int type, from a dialogue fragment to all the fragments within a viewpager. I have an activity that hosts both the dialogue fragment and the viewpager. I know how to send data from the dialogue fragment to the activity using an interface defined in the dialogue fragment and implementing it within the activity itself. I was thinking maybe it had something to do with the onAttach method but i am not sure. i feel i am overlooking a simple solution here. please help! thanks!

Answer: 
Your call to `ToListAsync()` is returning a `Task`, which may not have completed executing by the time you return from the method. The best solution would be to make the method async, like so:

```
public async Task<IActionResult> GetApplications()
{
   var result = await context.Applications.Include(a=> a.AplicantCompany)
      .Include(c=>c.CreditorCompany)
      .ToListAsync();
   return Ok(result);
}

```

These changes will cause the method to wait for all the results before continuing to the `return` statement, while allowing other requests to run while this one is waiting for its data.

The second case probably won't work, as EF wants to load the entire entity with `Include`. If you want to load another entity that's referenced by `AplicantCompany`, you can use 

```
.Include(a => a.AplicantCompany).ThenInclude(c => c.Entity)

```

Actually, according to [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/46477084/1210520), you might be able to do (I haven't tried it):

```
var result = await context.Applications.Select(a => new {
    Application = a,
    CreditorCompany = a.CreditorCompany.Name,
    ApplicantCompany = a.AplicantCompany.Name}).ToListAsync();

```
Your call to `ToListAsync` is async; but the invocation and the method itself are synchronous. Change to `ToList()` or (better) make everything else asynchronous as well
