CHAPTER 9
Server-Side Async
In Chapter 6 we looked at asynchrony on the client side in some depth. Strong as the case is for using asynchronous execution on the client, it is even stronger on the server side. One could even say that the server side is fundamentally flawed unless request execution is handled, to some degree, asynchronously. In this chapter we will examine the reasons for implementing server-side asynchrony and the challenges it presents. Then we will analyze the asynchronous features in .NET 4.0 and 4.5 in the major server-side frameworks: ASP.NET (in a number of guises) and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).
