Async Delegate question

Can I use Async delegates to do infinite polling in vb.net?

Nov 21 '05 #1

I don't exactly understand what you mean. By "infinite polling", do you
mean sitting in a loop and polling indefinitely (maybe sleeping once in
a while), or polling once every X seconds for ever?

If it's the former, then yes, you can. Fire the polling method using an
async delegate to run it on a second thread.

If it's the latter, no, you can't directly - you'll need to use a
System.Threadin g.Timer to trigger the poll once every X seconds.

Regards,
-Adam.

Actually, its the former: fire the polling method by sitting in a loop and
polling indefinitely. The code is I used is:
if objectIASyncRes ult.iscompleted = true then
'do something

but everytime I execute it, it executes once. Is there any code examples for
this?
THanks,
Viet

I'm using the BeginInvoke method of a delegate to invoke a thread asynchronously and then use the EndInvoke to retrieve the value. This works wonderfully until a Serviced Component is added to the mix. When the Serviced Component is invoked with BeginInvoke, the code hangs for the duration of the call rather than running async. Any ideas? Sample code below: Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As...

I am working on a project where I will have a ton of async DNS calls in a console application. I would like to process the results of the Aync calls on the same thread that made the async call.

However, due to network performance and other factors not all of the results are...

Hello - I am trying to write a class that has an async BeginX and EndX, plus the regular X syncronous method. Delegates seemed like the way to go, however, I still am having problems getting exactly what I want. Here are my goals 1. I would like the IAsyncResult that is returned by the Begin function to be able to be waited on or polled to check for completion. 2. The Begin function would take a callback, and the async process would

Hi, I've omitted a large chunk of the code for clarity but the loop below is how I'm calling a delegate function asynchronously. After I start the each call I'm incrementing a counter and then making the main thread sleep until the counter gets back to zero. The call back function for each call decrements the counter. Is there a better way to make the thread wait until all calls are complete besides using the counter? I've seen some things...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
