Our dev team wrote a non-async method (I'm not allowed to change it to async-await). But I do want to run some code on a thread. So from this sync method, I would like to run something like this:
ManualResetEvent signalCompletion = new ManualResetEvent(false);
oResult result = GetCustomer(custID, signalCompletion);
...more code here
signalCompletion.WaitOne();
Customer customer = result.Customer;
in reference to this method (it's all set in motion by an Ajax call from client javascript).
public oResult GetCustomer(int custID, ManualResetEvent signalCompletion){ //Another sync method.
oResult r = new oResult();
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(async delegate {
using (Northwind db = new Northwind())
{
r.Customer = await QueryDbAsync(custID, db);
}
signalCompletion.Set();
});
return r;
}
Does this seem feasible? Or is it raising a lot of red flags? I'm no expert on threading.
