run function without stoping

[Gav]

I have very little knowledge of threads (although I think this is what I
need to use).

I have web services and web applications. It's my understanding (correct me
if I'm wrong) that if a web application calls a web service execution of the
application waits for the web service to finish wether it returns a value or
not. Is there a way to stop this?

Thanks
Gav

When you import a web-reference, the proxy class that is generated has
syncronous and asyncronous methods for each webmethod in the webservice
(this is something done automatically - the developer of the webservice
doesn't manually have to create the asyncronous methods). Every method can
be called with:

MethodName(whatever arguments)
OR:
BeginMethodName(whatever arguments)

The BeginX method is the asyncronous one. It follows the asyncronous model
used throughout the framework.

Hello Gav,

Thanks for your post. As suggested by Brian, you can make asynchronous Web
Service calls which offer you the opportunity to cancel calls if needed.
Please refer to the following MSDN article for detailed information:

Asynchronous Web Service Calls over HTTP with the .NET Framework
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/dnservice/h
tml/service09032002.asp

Hope this helps.

Yes please, I don't seem to be able to get this working... I don't need to
add a web reference because the webservice is in my project (I want to call
it from another web service in the same project).

However I tried adding it as a web reference anyway, for the sake of trying
to run this method asynchronous, but I still get an error if I try to run it
using:

BeginMethodName

Do you have any sample code?

Thanks again

Hello Gav,

Since the Web Methods are of the same project, please refer to the MSDN
article below for creating "Server-Side Asynchronous Web Methods":

Hope this helps.
