Calling the DocumentDB call

I am calling my DocumentDB for a human query. If the person is not in the database, I try to insert it into my collection.

When I inspect the collection, I see that a new person is being created, but my code seems to be hanging where I make the second call to insert the person into the collection. Any idea why my code is hanging? I am not including all the code to save space, eg. GetDatabaseAsync (), GetCollectionAsync (), etc. Everyone is working.

using (client = new DocumentClient(new Uri(endPointUrl), authorizationKey))
{
   //Get the database
   var database = await GetDatabaseAsync();

   //Get the Document Collection
   var collection = await GetCollectionAsync(database.SelfLink, "People");

   string sqlQuery = "SELECT * FROM People f WHERE f.id = \"" + user.PersonId + "\"";

   dynamic doc = client.CreateDocumentQuery(collection.SelfLink, sqlQuery).AsEnumerable().FirstOrDefault();

   if (doc == null)
   {
      // User is not in the database. Add user to the database
      try
      {
         **// This is where the code is hanging. It creates the user in my collection though!**
         await client.CreateDocumentAsync(collection.DocumentsLink, user);
      }
      catch
      {
         // Handle error
      }
   }
   else
   {
      // User is already in the system.
      user = doc;
   }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Is it possible that the code hangs because I am trying to both request and insert a document inside the same USING statement.

Is it a better idea for me to create a new client instance and create a separate block to process the INSERT document?
