This month I'll discuss the use of delegates to execute a method in an asynchronous fashion. I'll assume that you already know the fundamentals of programming with delegates, but if not, you should read the December 2002 and January 2003 Basic Instincts columns. There are a number of scenarios in which asynchronous execution can be a valuable design technique. For example, you should use asynchronous execution in a Windows® Forms application when you want to execute a long-running command without blocking the responsiveness of the user interface.
