How to block the UI during asynchronous operations in WPF

We have a WPF app (actually a VSTO WPF app). On certain controls there are multiple elements which, when clicked, load data from a web service and update the UI.

ASP.NET Asynchronous Tasks - Worker Thread Not Releasing?

I am having an issue with testing asynchronous tasks in ASP.NET & IIS7. From what I have read, the worker thread should be released back into the thread pool while the I/O thread performs the async work, allowing ASP.NET to server other incoming requests. But when I simulate heavy load on the web application by making 20 simultaneous req...

Is it possible to change HANDLE that has been opened for synchronous I/O to be opened for asynchronous I/O during its lifetime?

Dear all, Most of my daily programming work in Windows is nowadays around I/O operations of all kind (pipes, consoles, files, sockets, ...).

How do I go about setting up an application so that it has a persistent process in memory and does not have to re-initialize to run?

I'm not sure what's the appropriate terminology here, but I'd like to have an application running passively that is ready to accept commands without having to reinitialize the whole thing. The precise application is a machine learning system written in Python that takes a somewhat long time to train a classifier or to load a cached clas...

Jetty 7 Continuations: How to *not* redispatch the request?

I'm using Jetty 7 continuations to implement some asynchronous processing. What I'm trying to do is start off the continuation (via .suspend()), and then hand the continuation off to some other object that will compose the response, which works fine. But Jetty keeps redispatching the response (with isInitial = false) to the servlet, an...

How can I run NHibenate queries asynchronously?

Hello, One way to increase scalability of the server application is to run IO-bound operation (reading files, sockets, web requests, database requests etc) asynchronously. This does not mean run then in the ThreadPool which will just block threads while operation is being executed. The correct way is to use asynchronous API (BeginRead, ...

Is I/O Completion ports(Windows) or Asynchronous I/O (AIO) will improve performance of multithreaded servers handling large volume of requests?

Hi, I want to use I/O Completion ports for Windows and Asynchronous I/O (AIO) for solaris and Linux versions of my server application. The application server is multithreaded and it can accept lot of concurrent TCP connections and can process many requests per conenction. Is this criteria well enough to use the latest AIO?.
