What do you mean by "set up asynchronous calls"?
If your get_settings method is a C# method using the IAsyncResult pattern, then
you should be able to invoke it from IronRuby.

Example:
callback = lambda{ |asyncresult| puts data.end_get_settings(asyncresult) }
data.begin_get_settings("abc", callback, nil)
If you want to write your own asynchronous method not involving C# at all, then
you can do that too. If that's the case, then all you really need to do is
remember to call the block when you're done.
Example
def get_settings(&block)
do_long_thing
settings = 123
block.call(settings)
end
In a real function you'd probably run the body of get_settings in another
thread, but I won't go into how to do threading, as there may be other better
ways depending on your situation.
