To make life easy, I always call the End method in a callback, passed to the Begin half of the method. Basically, programming in a manually written continuation passing style (CPS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation_passing_style). React in the continuation as you will - basically, return or whatever after you've called the *End method. FWIW, I detest and abhor the newer "easy" *Async methods that use stateful, non-functional style events rather than callbacks - I find it makes writing asynchronous code far harder. -- Barry -- http://barrkel.blogspot.com/ =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
