Question

I want this method to be threaded out so I can set a timer and not wait for it to finish. It’s a call to a service.

private static void callValueEng(ValueEngineService.Contracts.ValueEngServiceParams param)
{
    using (WCFServiceChannelFactory<IValueEngineService> client =
              new WCFServiceChannelFactory<IValueEngineService>(
                  Repository.Instance.GetWCFServiceUri(typeof(IValueEngineService))))
    {
        client.Call(x => x.ValueManyTransactionsWithOldEngines(translatedParams));
    }
}

I tried threading it out like this:

System.Threading.Thread newThread;
//RestartValueEngineService();

List<TransactionInfo> currentIdsForValuation = ((counter + 7000) <= allIds.Count) 
                              ? allIds.GetRange(counter, 7000) 
                              : allIds.GetRange(counter, allIds.Count - counter);
translatedParams.tranquoteIds = currentIdsForValuation;

// thread this out
newThread = new System.Threading.Thread(callValueEng(translatedParams));

But it’s saying ‘the best overloaded match has some invalid arguments.’ What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

try:

var invoker = new Action<ValueEngineService.Contracts.ValueEngServiceParams>(callValueEng);
invoker.BeginInvoke(translatedParams, null, null);

this will asynchronously call your method.
