The Blazor Puzzle 77 - Why Your Blazor Page Named “Task.razor” Breaks Everything

In Episode 77 of The Blazor Puzzle, Carl Franklin and Jeff Fritz uncover a subtle but frustrating issue: naming your Blazor component Task.razor will break your app—and the error messages won’t help much.

🚫 If you’ve ever seen the cryptic error:

"Return type must be Task to match overridden member ComponentBase.OnInitializedAsync..."
…it might not be your code at all—it could just be the name of your file.

🔍 What You'll Learn:
✔️ Why naming a Razor file Task.razor causes compiler confusion
✔️ How Razor files are turned into C# classes (and how names matter!)
✔️ The difference between Task (system type) and Task (your component)
✔️ How to fix the issue quickly (just rename the file!)
✔️ Bonus insight on namespace collisions and long-term cleanup tips
