InvokeServerMethodAsync enables a client-side caller to invoke an arbitrary static method on the server using an asynchronous call. The data returned from the server method will be available in the IdeaBlade.EntityModel.InvokeServerMethodEventArgs passed to the callback provided.
// Sample showing asynchronous invocation of server method // In client class: private void MakeAsyncCall() { EntityManager mgr = new DomainModelEntityManager(); // Make async call Guid myToken = Guid.NewGuid(); mgr.InvokeServerMethodAsync(new ServerMethodDelegate(Order.GetNumberOfOrdersSlow), InvokeServerMethodAsyncCompleted, myToken, new DateTime(1995, 1, 1), new DateTime(1999, 1, 1)); } private void InvokeServerMethodAsyncCompleted(InvokeServerMethodOperation e) { Guid token = (Guid)e.UserState; if (!e.Cancelled) { MessageBox.Show("my async result = " + Convert.ToInt32(e.Result).ToString()); } } // Sample method defined in Order entity class: public class Order { //... // ServerMethodDelegate method, called from client [AllowRpc] public static Object GetNumberOfOrdersSlow(IPrincipal pPrincipal, EntityManager pMgr, params Object[] pArgs) { // Sleep to make this slower to show async System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000); DateTime dt1 = pArgs[0] as DateTime; DateTime dt2 = pArgs[1] as DateTime; return pMgr.Order.Where(o => o.OrderDate >= dt1 && o.OrderDate <= dt2).Count(); } }
