    <p>I am adding some data to a list and it might take a while to do this. Therefore i perform this action asynchronously. I do it like this:</p> <pre><code>ScanDelegate worker = StartScan; AsyncCallback completedCallback = ScanCompletedCallback; lock (_sync) { var async = AsyncOperationManager.CreateOperation(null); worker.BeginInvoke(completedCallback, async); } </code></pre> <p>The information added in StartScan() is correctly added to the list. When the scan is complete, i want to perform a different scan, depending on the data in the list. So i start the different scan in the ScanCompletedCallback() method. But at this point, my list is empty. Im guessing that this is because the callback method is invoked when the worker has been started, and not when it returns.</p> <p>Is this true?</p> <p>And if it is, how can i know when my worker has completed its tasks?</p> <p>Edit: I can't get my head around this. It doesn't make sense. I came to think of the list i am adding to. I couldn't just add to it, i had to wrap it in a Dispatcher thread. This must be the problem, right? Is there a way i can make my Async method StartScan() wait for this Dispatcher ?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p>StartScan()</p> <pre><code>private void StartScan() { //For testing for (int t = 0; t &lt; 1; t++) { var app2 = Application.Current; if (app2 != null) { app2.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(DispatcherPriority.Background, new DispatcherOperationCallback(AddComputerToList), new ComputerModel() { HostName = "Andreas-PC", IpAddress = "192.168.1.99", ActiveDirectoryPath = "ikke i AD", Name = "Andreas-PC", OperatingSystem = "Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise" }); } } } </code></pre> <p>ScanCompletedCallback()</p> <pre><code> private void ScanCompletedCallback(IAsyncResult ar) { var worker = (ScanDelegate)((AsyncResult)ar).AsyncDelegate; var async = (AsyncOperation)ar.AsyncState; worker.EndInvoke(ar); lock (_sync) { IsScanning = false; } var completedArgs = new AsyncCompletedEventArgs(null, false, null); async.PostOperationCompleted(e =&gt; OnScanCompleted((AsyncCompletedEventArgs)e), completedArgs); } </code></pre> <p>AddComputerToList()</p> <pre><code>private object AddComputerToList(Object objComputer) { var computer = objComputer as ComputerModel; if (computer != null) { ComputersList.Add(computer); OnPropertyChanged("ComputersList"); } return null; } </code></pre>

    2. COYes, i can se that the adding to the list takes place after the callback. But this makes no sense to me, so i was just asking how the callback method is supposed to work.

    3. COI just made an addition to my original question. Think this might be the problem.

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.
