Post a new message to this list... theBoringCoder Hello All, I just started learning about Delegates, and was wondering if someone could point me at some useful, straightforward examples of how to use delegates to make method calls asynchronously. I've been told that this is possible, and works similar to callbacks in C++, but cannot find any straightforward examples in C#. Thanks, theBoringCoder Reply to this message...        Andy Gaskell I always liked the bedtime story... http://www.sellsbrothers.com/writing/default.aspx?content=delegates.htm "theBoringCoder" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:ad2001c436ca$7e22a570$Click here to reveal e-mail address...

[Original message clipped] Reply to this message...        Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP] (VIP) theBoringCoder, It's actually quite easy. If you create a delegate like this: public delegate void MyMethodDelegate(int myParam); Then an instance of a delegate exposes three methods, Invoke, BeginInvoke, and EndInvoke. What you want to do is create an instance of the delegate, and then call the BeginInvoke method, like so: // Create the delegate. MyMethodDelegate pobjDelegate = new MyMethodDelegate(MyMethod); // Call asynchronously. IAsyncResult pobjResult = pobjDelegate.BeginInvoke(1, null, null); For a more detailed explaination and examples, check out the section of the .NET framework documentation titled "Asynchronous Delegates", located at (watch for line wrap): http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpovrasynchronousdelegates.asp Hope this helps. -- - Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP] - Click here to reveal e-mail address "theBoringCoder" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:ad2001c436ca$7e22a570$Click here to reveal e-mail address...
