multithreading

Hi, In order to avoid freezing of GUI, I wanted to run method connecting to DB asynchronously. Therefore I have written this:

DelegatLoginu dl = ConnectDB;
            IAsyncResult ar=dl.BeginInvoke(null, null);
            bool result = (bool)dl.EndInvoke(ar);

But it is still freezing and I do not understand why - I though BeginInvoke assures that method it references is run in another thread. Thank you!

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
