Question

I am using MySQL with ASP.NET and log some user request to DB. Is it possible to do this logging without blocking the main page life cycle? I’ve read about some async. with ADO.NET but most are focused on waiting a reply from the async. request. Is there a way to implement this without ever waiting a reply from the DB?

Answer 1

For a fire and forget scenario you could spawn a new thread and never block the main thread waiting for it to complete:

new Thread(() => {
    // use ADO.NET to do the database query
}).Start();
