Thanks N a v a n e e t h,
I want to confirm with you that we can call EndInvoke even if after the asynchronous method completes to retrieve results, right (in this case, EndInvoke will return immediately)?
regards,
George

I am sorry, but I am not getting you. Can you rephrase your question ?

Thanks Navaneeth,
Sorry for my bad English.
My question is, if we call EndInvoke after the completion of the asynchronous method, EndInvoke will not be blocked and we will get return result from EndInvoke (or exception) without blocking, right?
regards,
George

Yes. It will be returned immediately.

It's recommended that you call EndInvoke for every BeginInvoke called, regardless of whether you wait for completion. The MSDN page (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2e08f6yc.aspx[^]) clearly says "Always call EndInvoke to complete your asynchronous call.".
1. Any exceptions that occurred in the asynchronous method will be thrown when you call EndInvoke, so if you don't call it, you'll miss those.
2. If the async method has any return values or out/ref parameters, then you'll need to obviously call EndInvoke to get them.

Good point, Senthil!
Two more comments,
1.
From the link you referred, I can not find words like "Always call EndInvoke to complete your asynchronous call", and it is appreciated if you could point out.
2.

I think you mean some code only calls WaitHandle without calling EndInvoke (WaitHandle is singnalled when asynchronous call completes, and you can have choice to ignore return value by without calling EndInvoke)?
If yes, I think the asynchronous method should be executed in another CLR thread, other than the current thread. Right?
And if any exception occurs in the CLR thread, could be caught in the current thread? I doubt it. Since I think the C# exception handling approach does not allow us to have cross-threads exception handling -- means exception occurs in one thread, and we can catch it in another thread? Any comments?

George

Um, but isn't that the very definition of an asynchronous method?

Any exceptions that occurred in the asynchronous method will be caught by the .NET framework and will be rethrown in the thread that calls EndInvoke. So yes, the framework does have the ability to handle exceptions across threads.

Cool, Senthil!

I think .Net framework does something special here in asynchronous method call. In normal case of multi-threaded programming in C#, the exception thrown from one thread can not be caught from another thread, right?

Yes, because each thread has its own stack and exceptions cannot be propagated across stacks.

Thanks Senthil,
Your answer is clear.

Hi,
I am developing application in asp.net 2.0 using C#. My back end is sql server 2005. I also use microsoft enterprise library 2006.
My problem is:
First i pass three parameters to stored procedure from the application. After i increase one more parameter in both application as well as stored procedure, the application gives an error that parameter does not match with the stored procedures parameters.
after couple of hours when i restart the machine and again run the application it works fine with four parameters.
does sql server 2005 stores the parameters in cache??
if it does not keep it in cache then how come i get an error that values does not match the values in the stored procedure??

what is the equivalent of following C structure in c#
struct mystructure
{
int number;
char name[256];
};

Hi,
it depends on what you want it for. If it's just data being shared between two
pieces of C# code, then use:
struct myStructure {
int number;
string name;
}
and it will hold your data, whatever the length of the name string will be.
If on the other hand you want to share the data with code in another programming language,
or with a hardware device, then it will take more effort (e.g.with Marshaling attributes
or code) to match the requirements.

actually i am writing some fields from webpages to file
using structure. then I read the file using same structure
in the c++ programme . in c++ no string data type so I cannot use string
in my structure

Three comments then:
so it is a binary file (because of the int) although probably most of the data is text?
I would make it all text then (hence use int.ToString and/or int.TryParse)
are you aware of character sizes? in C/C++ it could be 8-bit or 16-bit, on C# it will
be 16-bit.
Some people would recommend using XML for something like this. I'm still undecided.

You can use a BinaryWriter to write the data to the file.
The .NET equivalent of a C++ char is a byte. If you have text to put in the file, you have to know what encoding to use to turn it into an array of bytes.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

structure mystructure
{
int number;
string name;
}
The default for those variables in C# will be private (I believe), you will have to create properties to expose the variables.

Hello everyone,
For the default approach for a console application or Windows service written in C#, if there is an uncaught exception, the console application or the Windows service will terminate? Right?
thanks in advance,
George

Gee - how easy would this be to find out for yourself ?
Yeah, the exception will reach the top level, won't be caught and your app will report an error to the end user.

Thanks Christian,
I am just asking for others' experience. "report an error to the end user" and program will terminate, right?
