Introduction I haven't blogged lately over the last 6 months. Main reason being Silverlight 3, I have been using most of my time consuming myself with Silverlight 3 and related technologies, plus working on to many projects and holding down a fulltime job. My focus is about developing line of business applications that involves communicating with distributed services rather than very pretty UIs. The obvious technology is WCF for communicated with backend services from silverlight (or any UI in the .net world). One of the many golden rules with UI development is not lock up the UI while running long running processes and this includes communicated with backend services. Not locking the UI is nothing new, multi-threaded applications have been around for years and years. So what is this post about, its about using WCF asynchronously. Specifically with Silverlight, but the UI could be WPF (or winforms with some subtle differences). The approach Add service reference The easier way to achieve asynchronous communication with WCF and Silverlight is to use "Add service reference" (ASR) in visual studio.
