Do I need to set ConfigureWait(true) on every async call if I am waiting for a Loading... panel to work and response back? Or can I just call the first one with a ConfigureAwait(true) and then every other one to the database ConfigureAwait(false)?
Do I need to set ConfigureWait(true) on every async call if I am waiting for a Loading... panel to work and response back?
According to your description, I couldn't understand your requirement clearly.
Do you mean you want to show the loading panel when running the async task?
If you could post more details about your requirement, it will be more easily for us to understand the question.
As far as I know, the ConfigureAwait function is used to configure an awaiter used to await this Task.
Details about the ConfigureAwait, you could refer to this
answer.

If you do ConfigureAwait(false) and another task kicks off, then it will go to another thread to run. I need it to return to the UI thread so that the message box comes up or a loading panel goes away. Otherwise, it will throw an error saying that the thread
is different and it can't return.

As far as I know, you need set ConfigureAwait(true) with all of the await to force the thread return back UI thread.
If you don't use this you will face error.
You could use Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId to see each thread id when you use ConfigureAwait(false).
You could find the main thread will always change.

Perfect.
This is what I needed to know and what I thought.
