How to: Implement a Client of the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern 

The following code example demonstrates how to use a component that adheres to the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern Overview. The form for this example uses thePrimeNumberCalculatorcomponent described in How to: Implement a Component That Supports the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern.

When you run a project that uses this example, you will see a "Prime Number Calculator" form with a grid and two buttons: Start New Task and Cancel. You can click the Start New Task button several times in succession, and for each click, an asynchronous operation will begin a computation to determine if a randomly generated test number is prime. The form will periodically display progress and incremental results. Each operation is assigned a unique task ID. The result of the computation is displayed in the Result column; if the test number is not prime, it is labeled as Composite, and its first divisor is displayed.

Any pending operation can be canceled with the Cancel button. Multiple selections can be made.

NoteNote

Most numbers will not be prime. If you have not found a prime number after several completed operations, simply start more tasks, and eventually you will find some prime numbers.
