+`SetProviderAsync` waits for the provider to finish initializing before it returns. For Local Bucketing, this includes waiting for the initial configuration to download before you evaluate a flag.

+Keep this initialization path asynchronous. Do not block on the returned task with `.Wait()`, `.Result`, or `.GetAwaiter().GetResult()`. Blocking can deadlock applications that use a UI or legacy ASP.NET synchronization context.

 ### Evaluate a Variable
 Use a Variable value by passing the Variable key, default value, and EvaluationContext to one of the OpenFeature flag evaluation methods
