    <p>You need to think about the problem differently. To make asynchronous things "feel" synchronous, the easiest way to do it is to restructure your code to make use of '<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation-passing_style" rel="nofollow noreferrer">continuation passing style</a>'.</p> <p>In essence, instead of calling a function that returns a value and then you process that value, you call a function, passing an anonymous function as a delegate to it. The called function will then invoke the delegate, passing in the string.</p> <p>Here is an example, which uses anonymous functions and lambdas:</p> <pre><code>void DoSomethingAsync( Action&lt;string&gt; callback ) { HttpWebRequest req; // TODO: build your request req.BeginGetResponse( result =&gt; { // This anonymous function is a closure and has access // to the containing (or enclosing) function. var response = req.EndGetResponse( result ); // Get the result string and call the callback string resultString = null; // TODO: read from the stream callback(resultString); }, null ); } </code></pre> <p>This is one half the solution. The next part, is to actually call this. Imagine you have an ICommand instance or simpler, a button click event that needed to call this function and "get the string". Instead of "getting the string" you call this function and supply a callback method (which will be a closure).</p> <pre><code>void btnGo_Click( object sender, EventArgs e ) { DoSomethingAsync( resultString =&gt; { // This anonymous function is called when the web request has // finished and has your string. // Now that we have the string, we can go and process it. ProcessWebResponseResult( resultString ); }); } </code></pre> <p>Here is a really good article explaining the concept further: <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/wesdyer/archive/2007/12/22/continuation-passing-style.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/wesdyer/archive/2007/12/22/continuation-passing-style.aspx</a></p>

    1. COLets say ProcessWebResponseResult() creates an object from the string and the function that calls DoSomethingAsync() needs to return that object. Is that possible?

    2. COThat's missing the point. The method that calls DoSomethingAsync passes a function to DoSomethingAsync. The function passed is the "what to do with the result of this function". As you need more, you add additional continuation functions to your call chain.

    3. COThis is how you think of a program normally running: `A();B();C();`. However, when you execute with 'continuation passing style', you tell each function what to do when it's done. Instead of "I get my result from this function", you say "I tell this function what to do with its result" via a delegate.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
