ExecuteGenericAsyncRequest

Use this method to have a method executed asynchronously.

Executing methods asynchronously

Some methods can take quite some time to execute (e.g. the GetVisio... methods). As it is not advised to block an HTTP channel for long periods of time, methods that take a long time to execute should be executed asynchronously.

To execute a method asynchronously, do the following:

1. Send the task to the server using the ExecuteGenericAsyncRequest method.

2. Check whether the server has finished executing the task using the IsGenericAsyncResponseAvailable method (see IsGenericAsyncResponseAvailable).

   Note

   To cancel the execution, use the method CancelAsyncRequest. See CancelAsyncRequest.

3. If the server has finished executing the task, use the GetGenericAsyncResponse method to retrieve the result (see GetGenericAsyncResponse).
