Multithreaded Programming with the Event-based Asynchronous PatternĀ 

There are a number of ways to expose asynchronous features to client code. The Event-based Asynchronous Pattern prescribes the recommended way for classes to present asynchronous behavior.

In This Section

  • Event-based Asynchronous Pattern Overview
    Describes how the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern makes available the advantages of multithreaded applications while hiding many of the complex issues inherent in multithreaded design.
