copied!<p>I am learning asynchronous programming using C# and I usually use <code>BeginInvoke</code>, but I am not very sure about the other methods of creating asynchronous application.</p> <p>I have asked a question about this,see below link for more details:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8789544/how-to-return-t-value-from-begininvoke">How to return T value from BeginInvoke?</a></p> <p>In above link, Gravell said that there are four models of asynchronous development </p> <blockquote> <p><em>There's at least 4, then - a regular callback (non-APM, non-EAP) is also not uncommon</em></p> </blockquote> <p>But Overflow said that there are three:</p> <p>There are 3 models of asynchronous development in .NET</p> <ul> <li><p><strong>APM</strong> - (<code>BeginXXX</code> / <code>EndXXX</code>) which you are using here, when the long running task completes, it calls back into your code in the <code>EndXXX</code> method </p></li> <li><p><strong>EAP</strong> - Event based. In this model, when the long running task completes, an event is raised to inform your code.</p></li> <li><p><strong>TPL</strong> - New in .NET 4, this is the Task-based version. It looks most like synchronous programming to client code, using a fluent interface. Its calls back to your code using <code>ContinueWith</code>.</p></li> </ul> <p>Anyone can help me on this? </p> <p>I have searched google.com a lot, but actually they are using <code>BeginInvoke</code> most. thanks for your help.</p>
