Implementing Asynchronous Calls
Let's start by examining a simple synchronous program that will serve as a jumping-off point for some of the more advanced operators. Listing 4-1 shows a very simple synchronous method. Like all the examples in this chapter, Listing 4-1 should be run in LINQPad.
Listing 4-1. A Synchronous Method
void Main()
{
int x = 4;
int y = 5;
int z = AddTwoNumbers(4,5);
z.Dump();
}
int AddTwoNumbers(int a, int b)
{
return a + b;
}
The call to AddTwoNumbers is synchronous, meaning that the processing of Main will pause while AddTwoNumbers is run, not processing the next line (in which the result is output) until the call returns.
Using Observable.Start
Synchronous methods block; and most often this is either undesirable ...
