how to make asychronous method calls return a List ?

Hi,

I am using google api to search for youtube videos but unfortunately I can not really resolve that altough i search for the video and get a result in the function i can not return a value from the function thus wont be able to display this on my page.

Ideally what i would want to do is reeturn a List from the function and iterate through each item on the List in razor and display the video but how can i achieve this can you help me?

 public partial class YouTubeConnect : System.Web.UI.Page
    {

        List<string> videos = new List<string>();
        List<string> channels = new List<string>();
        List<string> playlists = new List<string>();
      
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var youtubeService = new YouTubeService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
            {
                ApiKey = MazdaContext.Current.Site.GetConfigurationValue("youtubeApiKey"),
                ApplicationName = this.GetType().ToString()
            });
           
            SearchVideo(youtubeService);

        }

        public async void SearchVideo(YouTubeService youtubeService)
        {
            var searchListRequest = youtubeService.Search.List("snippet");
            searchListRequest.Q = "BMW"; //Replace with your search term.
            searchListRequest.MaxResults = 50;

            // Call the search.list method to retrieve results matching the specified query term.
            var searchListResponse = await searchListRequest.ExecuteAsync();

            // Add each result to the appropriate list, and then display the lists of
            // matching videos, channels, and playlists.
            foreach (var searchResult in searchListResponse.Items)
            {
                switch (searchResult.Id.Kind)
                {
                    case "youtube#video":
                        videos.Add(String.Format("{0} ({1})", searchResult.Snippet.Title, searchResult.Id.VideoId));
                        break;

                    case "youtube#channel":
                        channels.Add(String.Format("{0} ({1})", searchResult.Snippet.Title, searchResult.Id.ChannelId));
                        break;

                    case "youtube#playlist":
                        playlists.Add(String.Format("{0} ({1})", searchResult.Snippet.Title, searchResult.Id.PlaylistId));
                        break;

                       
                }
            }
        }
    }
