使用异步方式调用同步方法

.NET Framework 允许您异步调用任何方法。 为此,应定义与您要调用的方法具有相同签名的委托;公共语言运行时会自动使用适当的签名为该委托定义 BeginInvoke 和 EndInvoke 方法。

注意注意

.NET Compact Framework 中不支持异步委托调用,也就是 BeginInvoke 和 EndInvoke 方法。

BeginInvoke 方法启动异步调用。 该方法与您需要异步执行的方法具有相同的参数,还有另外两个可选参数。 第一个参数是一个 AsyncCallback 委托,该委托引用在异步调用完成时要调用的方法。 第二个参数是一个用户定义的对象,该对象将信息传递到回调方法。 BeginInvoke 立即返回,不等待异步调用完成。 BeginInvoke 返回一个 IAsyncResult,后者可用于监视异步调用的进度。

EndInvoke 方法检索异步调用的结果。 在调用 BeginInvoke 之后随时可以调用该方法。 如果异步调用尚未完成,则 EndInvoke 会一直阻止调用线程,直到异步调用完成。 EndInvoke 的参数包括您需要异步执行的方法的 out 和 ref 参数(在 Visual Basic 中为 <Out> ByRef 和 ByRef)以及由 BeginInvoke 返回的 IAsyncResult

注意注意

Visual Studio 2005 中的 IntelliSense 功能显示 BeginInvoke 和 EndInvoke 的参数。如果您没有使用 Visual Studio 或类似工具,或您使用的是带有 Visual Studio 2005 的 C#,请参见 异步编程概述 以获取为这些方法定义的参数的说明。

本主题中的代码示例演示了使用 BeginInvoke 和 EndInvoke 进行异步调用的四种常用方法。 调用 BeginInvoke 之后,您可以执行下列操作:

  • 进行某些操作,然后调用 EndInvoke 一直阻止到调用完成。

  • 使用 IAsyncResult.AsyncWaitHandle 属性获取 WaitHandle,使用其 WaitOne 方法阻止执行,直至 WaitHandle 收到信号,然后调用 EndInvoke。

  • 轮询由 BeginInvoke 返回的 IAsyncResult,以确定异步调用何时完成,然后调用 EndInvoke。

  • 将用于回调方法的委托传递给 BeginInvoke。 异步调用完成后,将在 ThreadPool 线程上执行该方法。 回调方法调用 EndInvoke。

重要说明重要事项

无论您使用何种方法,都要调用 EndInvoke 来完成异步调用。

定义测试方法和异步委托

下面的代码示例演示异步调用同一个长时间运行的方法 TestMethod 的各种方式。 TestMethod 方法会显示一条控制台消息,说明该方法已开始处理,休眠了几秒钟,然后结束。 TestMethod 有一个 out 参数,用于说明此类参数添加到 BeginInvoke 和 EndInvoke 的签名中的方式。 您可以按同样的方式处理 ref 参数。

下面的代码示例演示 TestMethod 的定义和名为 AsyncMethodCaller 的、可用来异步调用 TestMethod 的委托。 若要编译代码示例,必须包括 TestMethod 的定义和 AsyncMethodCaller 委托。

使用 EndInvoke 等待异步调用

异步执行方法的最简单方式是通过调用委托的 BeginInvoke 方法来开始执行方法,在主线程上执行一些操作,然后调用委托的 EndInvoke 方法。 EndInvoke 可能会阻止调用线程,因为该方法直到异步调用完成后才返回。 这种方式非常适合执行文件或网络操作。

重要说明重要事项

因为 EndInvoke 可能会阻塞,所以不应从服务于用户界面的线程调用该方法。

使用 WaitHandle 等待异步调用

您可以使用由 BeginInvoke 返回的 IAsyncResultAsyncWaitHandle 属性来获取 WaitHandle。 异步调用完成时,WaitHandle 会收到信号,您可以通过调用 WaitOne 方法等待它。

如果您使用 WaitHandle,则在异步调用完成之前或之后,但在通过调用 EndInvoke 检索结果之前,还可以执行其他处理。

注意注意

调用 EndInvoke 时不会自动关闭等待句柄。如果释放对等待句柄的所有引用,则当垃圾回收功能回收等待句柄时,将释放系统资源。若要在等待句柄使用完毕后立即释放系统资源,请调用 WaitHandle.Close 方法来释放等待句柄。显式释放可释放的对象时,垃圾回收的工作效率会更高。

异步调用完成时执行回调方法

如果启动异步调用的线程不需要是处理结果的线程,则可以在调用完成时执行回调方法。 回调方法在 ThreadPool 线程上执行。

若要使用回调方法,必须将表示回调方法的 AsyncCallback 委托传递给 BeginInvoke。 也可以传递包含回调方法要使用的信息的对象。 在回调方法中,可以将 IAsyncResult(回调方法的唯一参数)强制转换为 AsyncResult 对象。 然后,可以使用 AsyncResult.AsyncDelegate 属性获取已用于启动调用的委托,以便可以调用 EndInvoke。

有关示例的说明:

  • TestMethod 的 threadId 参数为 out 参数(在 Visual Basic 中为 <Out> ByRef),因此 TestMethod 从不使用该参数的输入值。 会将一个虚拟变量传递给 BeginInvoke 调用。 如果 threadId 参数为 ref 参数(在 Visual Basic 中为 ByRef),则该变量必须为类级别字段,这样才能同时传递给 BeginInvoke 和 EndInvoke。

  • 传递给 BeginInvoke 的状态信息是一个格式字符串,回调方法使用该字符串来设置输出消息的格式。 因为作为类型 Object 进行传递,所以状态信息必须强制转换为正确的类型才能被使用。

  • 回调在 ThreadPool 线程上执行。 ThreadPool 线程是后台线程,这些线程不会在主线程结束后保持应用程序的运行,因此示例的主线程必须休眠足够长的时间以便回调完成。
