Intellisense/aspnetcore not allowing void -> object casting

Describe the bug

When using ActionResult<object> as a result, the resulting method allows for the return of void from another function, but it shouldn’t, as this gives a ProgramException.

I dont know if this is a Roslyn bug or AspNetCore bug.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Using this version of ASP.NET Core 2.2
2. Run this code

        private void ReturnVoid() { }


        public ActionResult<object> FaultyMethod()
        {
            return ReturnVoid();
        }

1. With these argumentsx
2. See error ProgramException

Expected behavior

It should return an EmptyResult to the end user. Or give an error in intellisense/Roslyn that this sort of thing should not happen.

Or am I missing something here?

@Eilon yes we should. Can’t do a real move though because don’t have a dual Admin. I will do a manual move.
