Blocking Application Execution by Ending an Async Operation

Applications that cannot continue to do other work while waiting for the results of an asynchronous operation must block until the operation completes. Use one of the following options to block your application's main thread while waiting for an asynchronous operation to complete:

Applications that use the EndOperationName method to block until an asynchronous operation is complete will typically call the BeginOperationName method, perform any work that can be done without the results of the operation, and then call EndOperationName.

Example

The following code example demonstrates using asynchronous methods in the Dns class to retrieve Domain Name System information for a user-specified computer. Note that null (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed for the BeginGetHostByNamerequestCallback and stateObject parameters because these arguments are not required when using this approach.
