Found this very easy to read yet informative post on Asynchronous Method Invocation. I admit that what i know about .NET is merely the tiny tip of what the iceberg can offer. Oh hell, life is long and learning is life long, ain’t it?

Here’s a summary of what i learnt:

• MethodInvoke - built in delegate in .NET that allow you to call a method that takes in no parameter
• BeginInvoke - execute the target function and return to caller instantly
• ThreadPool in .NET has a limit of 25. Avoid ’starving’ the pool else be fined by performance loss
• EndInvoke - return proper values/parameters from the previous function call
• IAsyncResult - log of all datas (exceptions, return value, output parameters, etc) after execution is completed
• AsyncCallBack - used when you don’t wish to wait for completion of the execution (that’s the purpose of asynchronous call bah)
• Command Pattern (ICommand interface) - rather than BeginInvoke, EndInvoke, CallBack everywhere in your Main(), apply this pattern to group calls together.

That’s all folks. I might not have explained everything properly, so best for you to read it yourself.
