Utilizar un delegado AsyncCallback para finalizar una operación asincrónica

Las aplicaciones que pueden realizar otro trabajo mientras esperan los resultados de una operación asincrónica no deben bloquear la espera hasta que se complete la operación. Use una de las siguientes opciones para continuar con la ejecución de instrucciones mientras espera a que la operación asincrónica se complete:

  • Use un delegado AsyncCallback para procesar los resultados de la operación asincrónica en un subproceso independiente. Este método se muestra en este tema.

  • Use la propiedad IsCompleted de la interfaz IAsyncResult devuelta por el método BeginOperationName de la operación asincrónica para determinar si la operación se ha completado. Para ver un ejemplo que muestre este enfoque, consulte Sondear el estado de una operación asincrónica.

Ejemplo

En el ejemplo de código siguiente se explica cómo utilizar los métodos asincrónicos en la clase Dns para recuperar información del sistema de nombres de dominio (DNS) de equipos especificados por el usuario. En este ejemplo se crea un delegado AsyncCallback que hace referencia al método ProcessDnsInformation. Se llama a este método una vez por cada solicitud asincrónica de información de DNS.

Tenga en cuenta que el host especificado por el usuario se pasa al parámetro BeginGetHostByNameObject. Para obtener un ejemplo que muestra cómo definir y usar un objeto state más complejo, vea Utilizar un delegado AsyncCallback y un objeto State.
