AsyncResult.AsyncState Property

Definition

Gets the object provided as the last parameter of a BeginInvoke method call.

public:
 virtual property System::Object ^ AsyncState { System::Object ^ get(); };
public virtual object AsyncState { get; }
member this.AsyncState : obj
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property AsyncState As Object

Property Value

The object provided as the last parameter of a BeginInvoke method call.

Implements

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how the AsyncState property is used to pass information to a callback method. The last parameter of the BeginInvoke method call is a format string, which the callback method uses to format an output message.

The example consists of two classes, the class that contains the method which is called asynchronously, and the class that contains the Main method that makes the call.

For more information on the way this callback example works, and more examples of calling methods asynchronously by using delegates, see Calling Synchronous Methods Asynchronously.
