Although I'm very comfortable with CPython, I'm new to IronPython and the .NET framework. What I am looking for is sample code that shows how to issue an asynchronous call from IronPython using the BeginInvoke/EndInvoke mechanism of .NET.
Currently, I'm playing around with GTK# and a D-Bus .NET implementation (NDesk-DBus) that only provides synchronous proxy methods for D-Bus services. I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) that I should be able to use the BeginInvoke/EndInvoke mechanism to issue these blocking proxy requests asynchronously and be notified (via a callback) when the method has completed. My blocking proxy calls look something like this: ret = self._proxy.TunerGetCurrentWaveBand(0) where 'ret' returns the current waveband (AM, FM, etc..) and are called from a button "clicked" delegate. I would rather not block the GTK# dispatch loop while waiting for the reply from the service. Can someone offer me any advice or provide a reference to sample code that illustrates the basic concept from IronPython?
