Hi Bassel,<div><br></div><div>Ruby provides its own support for asynchronous operations in its Thread class:</div><div><br></div><div>Thread.new do</div><div> puts "howdy!"</div><div>end</div><div><br></div><div>
If you specifically need to run a .NET delegate asynchronously, you can call its invoke method within this structure:</div><div><br></div><div>Thread.new do</div><div> my_action.invoke</div><div>end</div><div><br></div>
<div>
More info on Ruby's Thread class: <a href="http://corelib.rubyonrails.org/classes/Thread.html" target="_blank">http://corelib.rubyonrails.org/classes/Thread.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>Does that meet your needs?</div>
<div><br></div>

Hello guys,<br>
I'd like to use asynchronous delegates, but it doesn't seem to work.<br>
The IronRuby website mentioned that I can do:<br>
<br>
______________________________________________________________________<br>
>>> require 'System'<br>
=> true<br>
>>> require 'System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'<br>
=> true<br>
>>> my_action = System::Action.new { puts "Howdy!" }<br>
=> System.Action<br>
>>> my_action.invoke<br>
"Howdy!"<br>
=> nil<br>
______________________________________________________________________<br>
That works fine, but if I try this instead:<br>
<br>
______________________________________________________________________<br>
result = my_action.BeginInvoke(nil,nil)<br>
my_action.EndInvoke(result)<br>
______________________________________________________________________<br>
<br>
I get:<br>
<br>
System::NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance<br>
of an object.<br>
<br>
<br>
Am I missing something, or is there another way to do asynchronous<br>
delegates in IR.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
<br>
Bassel<br>
