async client calls not completing

RE: async client calls not completing

Hi Mark,

From your description, you're using the async operation of the webservice
proxy methods, however, found that the callback of the async operation
never get executed, correct?

From the code snippet you provided, what you used is the new async model
provided in .net framework 2.0 and the code is quite straightforward . So I
think the code logic is correct, just attach event and then call the
XXXAsync method.

I think currently we may try to isolate the issue first. For example, make
the webservice a very simple helloworld one(with some time delay). And move
the webservice call to console application to watch the behavior.

For the ServicePointMan ager.DefaultCon nectionLimit, it does have a default
2 limit, that's for connection to a given remote server. You can enlarge it
either via the ServicePointMan ager.DefaultCon nectionLimit or via
"system.net " section in app.config file.

Anyway, please feel free to let me know if there is any new finding on this.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Hi...

There are a few questions wrapped up in this, but the main one is that the
WebService.MyMe thodAsync() methods that are automatically generated in the
client code by VS 2005 don't seem to be finishing for me.

We have a VS add-in written in .net that used to make a number of database
calls to fill forms. To improve security, we moved the db calls to a web
service and return DataSets for the calls (the result sets are always
reasonably small).

I thought I'd go the extra step and use async calls and compression. I
changed a couple of the calls to

WS.M1Completed += new M1CompletedEven tHandler(AsyncM 1Completed);
WS.M2Completed += new M2CompletedEven tHandler(AsyncM 2Completed);
WS.M1Async();
WS.M2Async();
...
private void AsyncM1Complete d(object sender, M1CompletedEven tArgs e)
{
this.M1DataSet = e.Result;
Debug.WriteLine ("Finished M1");
}

private void AsyncM2Complete d(object sender, M2CompletedEven tArgs e)
{
this.M2DataSet = e.Result;
Debug.WriteLine ("Finished M2");
}

The main problem is that even though I see the request completed on the web
service side, AsyncM1Complete d() is never called. From all the examples I
found, it looks like this should work. Am I missing something obvious?

The second problem is that M2Async() never seems to get called. I googled
around and found some articles saying that by default ServicePointMan ager
has
default settings that wouldn't allow multiple calls to actually proceed
together. The article recommended

ServicePointMan ager.UseNagleAl gorithm = false;
ServicePointMan ager.Expect100C ontinue = false;
ServicePointMan ager.DefaultCon nectionLimit = 10;

for best performance. I put that in, but am not seeing the 2 async calls
getting fired - still the first one never completing.

I googled around and found the trick that the metadata for the
WebService.Enab leDecompression in VS is wrong - the default is false, not
true. I set that, and compression started working.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mark
