Aplicativos do Windows usando retornos de chamada
Na maioria dos cenários de processamento assíncrono, você deseja iniciar uma operação de banco de dados e continuar executando outros processos sem esperar a conclusão da operação de banco de dados. No entanto, muitos cenários exigem fazer algo depois que a operação do banco de dados termina. Em um aplicativo do Windows, por exemplo, talvez você queira delegar a operação de longa duração a um thread em segundo plano e, ao mesmo tempo, permitir que o thread da interface do usuário permaneça responsivo. No entanto, quando a operação de banco de dados é concluída, você deseja usar os resultados para preencher o formulário. A implementação desse tipo de cenário é melhor com um retorno de chamada.
Você define um retorno de chamada especificando um AsyncCallback delegado no método BeginExecuteNonQuery, BeginExecuteReader ou BeginExecuteXmlReader. O delegado é chamado quando a operação é concluída. Você pode passar o delegado uma referência para o SqlCommand em si, facilitando o acesso ao objeto SqlCommand, e chamar o método End apropriado sem precisar usar uma variável global.
Exemplo
O aplicativo do Windows a seguir demonstra o uso do método BeginExecuteNonQuery, executando uma instrução Transact-SQL que inclui um atraso de alguns segundos (emulando um comando de longa execução).
Este exemplo demonstra uma série de técnicas importantes, incluindo a chamada de um método que interage com o formulário de um thread separado. Além disso, este exemplo demonstra como você deve impedir que os usuários executem simultaneamente um comando várias vezes e como você deve garantir que o formulário não seja fechado antes que o procedimento de retorno de chamada seja chamado.
Para configurar este exemplo, crie um aplicativo do Windows. Coloque um controle Button e dois controles Label no formulário (aceitando o nome padrão de cada controle). Adicione o código a seguir à classe do formulário, modificando a cadeia de conexão conforme o necessário para o seu ambiente.
