The following code example demonstrates how to make an asynchronous call to a Web service from a client application. This example illustrates one of the guidelines explained in the topic, Design Guidelines for XML Web Services Created Using ASP.NET.

Example

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net" %>
<html>
   <script language="C#" runat="server">
      void EnterBtn_Click(Object Src, EventArgs E) 
      {
         MyMath.Math math = new MyMath.Math();
         // Call to Add Web service method asynchronously 
         // and then wait for it to complete.
         IAsyncResult result =
                         math.BeginAdd(Convert.ToInt32(Num1.Text),
                                       Convert.ToInt32(Num2.Text),
                                       null,
                                       null);
         // Wait for asynchronous call to complete.
         result.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne();
         // Complete the asynchronous call to Add Web service method.
         float total = math.EndAdd(result);
         // Display results in a Label control.
         Total.Text = "Total: " + total.ToString();
      }
   </script>
