iam not using begin invoke method for fear of potential leaks
first lets create class called AsyncHelper As Follows:
public class AsyncHelper
{
class TargetInfo
{
internal TargetInfo(Delegate d, object[] args)
{
Target = d;
Args = args;
}
internal readonly Delegate Target;
internal readonly object[] Args;
}
private static WaitCallback dynamicInvokeShim = new WaitCallback(DynamicInvokeShim);
public static void FireAndForget(Delegate d, params object[] args)
{
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(dynamicInvokeShim, new TargetInfo(d, args));
}
static void DynamicInvokeShim(object o)
{
try
{
TargetInfo ti = (TargetInfo)o;
ti.Target.DynamicInvoke(ti.Args);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Only use Trace as is Thread safe
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
}
}
next Create a webpage and Write to delegate to fire a method and code will be as follows:
//Delegate Declartion
delegate int AddDelegate( int a,int b);
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Invoking delegate and firing it
AddDelegate d = new AddDelegate(add);
AsyncHelper.FireAndForget(d, 2, 3);
}
// Method body
public int add(int a,int b)
{
return a + b;
}
}
