I found a few examples on the internet but I'm having a hard time trying to run my async call inside a background worker. I'm working in WP8. What's missing?
Edit: The purpose of this is to update the values I'm reading from time to time. Let's say 1s.
Here is my async code, it just gets and stores some data in providers []:
public void getAllProvidersMethod()
{
try
{
sc.getAllProvidersCompleted += new EventHandler<ServiceReference1.getAllProvidersCompletedEventArgs>(callback);
sc.getAllProvidersAsync();
}
catch (System.Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.ToString());
}
}
public void callback(object sender, ServiceReference1.getAllProvidersCompletedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
providers = new String[e.Result.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < e.Result.Length; i++)
{
providers[i] = e.Result[i].ToString();
}
}
catch (System.Exception d)
{
MessageBox.Show(d.ToString());
}
}
This is my background worker:
private void networkWorker()
{
var obj = App.Current as App;
BackgroundWorker bw = new BackgroundWorker();
bw.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(
delegate(object o, DoWorkEventArgs args)
{
BackgroundWorker b = o as BackgroundWorker;
getAllProvidersMethod();
});
bw.RunWorkerCompleted += new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(
delegate(object o, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs args)
{
MessageBox.Show(" ");
});
bw.RunWorkerAsync();
}
