Async.FromBeginEnd<'Arg1,'Arg2,'T> Method (F#)
Creates an asynchronous computation in terms of a Begin/End pair of actions in the style used in CLI APIs.
Namespace/Module Path: Microsoft.FSharp.Control
Assembly: FSharp.Core (in FSharp.Core.dll)
// Signature:
static member FromBeginEnd : 'Arg1 * 'Arg2 * ('Arg1 * 'Arg2 * AsyncCallback * obj -> IAsyncResult) * (IAsyncResult -> 'T) * ?(unit -> unit) -> Async<'T>
// Usage:
Async.FromBeginEnd (arg1, arg2, beginAction, endAction)
Async.FromBeginEnd (arg1, arg2, beginAction, endAction, cancelAction = cancelAction)
Parameters
arg1
Type: 'Arg1The first argument for the operation.
arg2
Type: 'Arg2The second argument for the operation.
beginAction
Type: 'Arg1 * 'Arg2 * AsyncCallback * obj -> IAsyncResultThe function initiating a traditional CLI asynchronous operation.
endAction
Type: IAsyncResult -> 'TThe function completing a traditional CLI asynchronous operation.
cancelAction
Type: (unit -> unit)An optional function to be executed when a cancellation is requested.
Return Value
An asynchronous computation wrapping the given Begin/End functions.
Remarks
This overload should be used if the operation is qualified by two arguments. For example, the following code creates an asynchronous computation for a web service call.
Async.FromBeginEnd(arg1,arg2,ws.BeginGetWeather,ws.EndGetWeather)
When the computation is run, beginFunc is executed, with a callback which represents the continuation of the computation. When the callback is invoked, the overall result is fetched using endFunc.
The computation will respond to cancellation while waiting for the completion of the operation. If a cancellation occurs, and cancelAction is specified, then it is executed, and the computation continues to wait for the completion of the operation. If cancelAction is not specified, then cancellation causes the computation to stop immediately, and subsequent invocations of the callback are ignored.
For an example, see Async.FromBeginEnd<'T> Method (F#).
