Hello! I have the next problem...

I have a Phone project, that has a protableLibrary. This protableLibrary (GameEngine) has to consume a web service called appServiceWS. The problem is, I need that this WS don't be asynchronous, becouse I need to take some data, to use in my phone application.

Can i do something with that? how?

Thank you!

Define "Phone". Do you mean Windows Phone 7? Or Windows Mobile?

If Windows Phone 7, then no, you can't do it non-asynchronously. Silverlight(which is what WP7 apps are written in) only supports asynchronous calls to services.

If you are referring to Windows Mobile, then yes, you can do synchronous calls.

Hello!

Yes, it is windows phone 7.

thank you for your answer. I understand. So, if I want to call some operation since my wphone proyect, I have to call the asynchronous operation, without a problem, or I have to do something more??

Perhaps I am lost!

When you consume the web service, a proxy class is created that contains the methods of the web service that you call. Those methods will be async. You simply call the method and they will execute asynchronously. There is nothing else you have to do...other than handle the Completed event so you will know when the web service call completes.

Have a look at the Async stuff coming in futures release of .net and the versions of C# and vb.net. You can currently access some it via the Asynce CTP but it will not be a refined as the "blessed" release.

Thank you again!

The thing is that, All the operation in the windows phone are async.
Well, since phone, I call the library with an operation (that is async, and return something), and in the library I call a web Service (that is async too, and return something too), so, I have a async, that call an async, that returns somthing. This is my problem. I don't know what to do!

Thank you!!!!

We actually have a tutorial for just that situation.

Thank you for all! at the end, we decided to do, that the web service be consumed for the application Phone! and works ok! thank you!
I don't know how to put resolved (to the topic)
