ManagementServer.BeginExecuteDeviceDiscovery Method
[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
Starts an asynchronous operation to discover devices in a specified IP address range.
Namespace: Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Administration
Assembly: Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager (in Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.dll)
Usage
'Usage
Dim instance As ManagementServer
Dim discoveryConfigurations As IList(Of DeviceDiscoveryConfiguration)
Dim callback As AsyncCallback
Dim state As Object
Dim returnValue As IAsyncResult
returnValue = instance.BeginExecuteDeviceDiscovery(discoveryConfigurations, callback, state)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Function BeginExecuteDeviceDiscovery ( _
discoveryConfigurations As IList(Of DeviceDiscoveryConfiguration), _
callback As AsyncCallback, _
state As Object _
) As IAsyncResult
public IAsyncResult BeginExecuteDeviceDiscovery (
IList<DeviceDiscoveryConfiguration> discoveryConfigurations,
AsyncCallback callback,
Object state
)
public:
IAsyncResult^ BeginExecuteDeviceDiscovery (
IList<DeviceDiscoveryConfiguration^>^ discoveryConfigurations,
AsyncCallback^ callback,
Object^ state
)
public IAsyncResult BeginExecuteDeviceDiscovery (
IList<DeviceDiscoveryConfiguration> discoveryConfigurations,
AsyncCallback callback,
Object state
)
public function BeginExecuteDeviceDiscovery (
discoveryConfigurations : IList<DeviceDiscoveryConfiguration>,
callback : AsyncCallback,
state : Object
) : IAsyncResult
Parameters
- discoveryConfigurations
Describes the devices to discover.
- callback
An AsyncCallback delegate that references a user-defined method to call when the discovery operation is complete.
- state
A user-defined object that you can use to pass information about the state of the asynchronous operation to the method specified by the callback parameter.
Return Value
Returns an IAsyncResult instance that you can use to check the status of the asynchronous operation.
Remarks
After you call this method to asynchronously discover network devices, you must call the EndExecuteDeviceDiscovery method to complete the operation. If the discovery process has not yet finished, the method blocks until discovery is complete.
You can determine whether the discovery process has been completed by using the IsCompleted property of the IAsyncResult instance returned by this method.
If you specify a user-defined callback method (in the callback parameter), this method is automatically called when discovery is complete. The specified callback method must accept an IAsyncResult instance as a parameter.
