Get current user

[gouris]

Hi,

I am using NuGet package "Atlassian.sdk" to connect to Jira cloud from Visual Studio 2019 using C#.
I am able to make connection, get projects names from Jira (I am using async method to get project list and it is working). I also want to get the current user with the method jiraConn.Users.GetMyselfAsync(). This method works when I am using it in a Console Application for trial purpose.
But my requirement is to use it with Visual Studio Extension. When I use the method in extension it keeps on waiting endlessly and Visual Studio remains constantly busy and I cannot proceed.

Please let me know if I am missing anything.
