Hi,
I am trying to get my head around Async web pages. I understand that Asyc is only good for releasing a thread which is idle and waiting for a database read or similar. However, I have a webpage where after the data is returned from the db, I need to do some processing which may take up to 30 seconds. How should I attack this? Should I do an asyc call to the db and then after the data is returned commence my the data processing in the EndAsync method?
Also, what about asyc xml? I have a large xml file I need to parse asynchronously (> 250mb). After an amout of data is read, I need to process it. The processing may take 2 - 3 seconds. How do I release the read on the xml document while I am doing the processing and then go back to the same spot in the xml?
Thanks
Jeff
