Examples

The following code example demonstrates using an AsyncOperation to track the lifetime of asynchronous operations. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the AsyncOperationManager class.

Remarks

If you are using a class that implements the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern Overview, the class will provide a MethodNameCompleted event. If you add an instance of the AsyncCompletedEventHandler delegate to the event, you will receive information about the outcome of asynchronous operations in the AsyncCompletedEventArgs parameter of the corresponding event-handler method.

The client application's event-handler delegate can check the Cancelled property to determine if the asynchronous task was cancelled.

The client application's event-handler delegate can check the Error property to determine if an exception occurred during execution of the asynchronous task.

If the class supports multiple asynchronous methods, or multiple calls to the same asynchronous method, you can determine which task raised the MethodNameCompleted event by checking the value of the UserState property. Your code will need to track these tokens, known as task IDs, as their corresponding asynchronous tasks start and complete.

Constructors

AsyncCompletedEventArgs()

Initializes a new instance of the AsyncCompletedEventArgs class.

AsyncCompletedEventArgs(Exception, Boolean, Object)

Initializes a new instance of the AsyncCompletedEventArgs class.

Properties

Cancelled

Gets a value indicating whether an asynchronous operation has been canceled.

Error

Gets a value indicating which error occurred during an asynchronous operation.

UserState

Gets the unique identifier for the asynchronous task.

Methods

RaiseExceptionIfNecessary()

Raises a user-supplied exception if an asynchronous operation failed.
