Asynchronous Web Service

jgallegoa

Hi Everyone!

Anyone know if there is any difference between synchronous and asynchronous web service?.
I extract the data from the "sales" table synchronous mode and i need asynchronous mode to make a universal Windows app.
I would appreciate examples please.

Thanks in advance,
Regards, Jon

Hey Jgallegoa,

Synchronous call of web-service is something in which the invoker needs to wait until the invoked method finishes it's task where in Asynchronous the invoker dint have to wait it starts doing other stuffs as well.
