I know this is of no help at all, but I also witnessed this behavior. No matter what I do on the client, the server is called synchronously. I tried multiple concurrent asynchronous client calls. I got concurrent server calls, but they were all synchronous calls (SyncProcessMessage was called multiple times in several threads).
It actually makes a lot of sense to me that the nature of the call in the server doesn't depend on the call in the client. I guess asynchrnonous server calls happen when remoting is not used (calling across app domains or contexts in the same process). I didn't try it out, though.

I have the following problem which has been puzzling me for a while. I am trying to intercept an asynchroneous call in a remote server while using an IMessageSink that I provided. The sink is created by attaching to my wellknown singleton object (which is first created and only then marshalled with the RemotingServices.Marshal method) an attribute that inherits ContextAttribute. This attribute adds a ContextProperty which implements IContextProperty and IContributeObjectSink, thus creating my IMessageSink. My message sink is very simple: public IMessage SyncProcessMessage(IMessage msg) { Console.WriteLine("SyncProcessMessage: {0}", ((IMethodMessage) msg).MethodName); return nextSink.SyncProcessMessage(msg); } public IMessageCtrl AsyncProcessMessage(IMessage msg, IMessageSink replySink) { Console.WriteLine("AsyncProcessMessage: {0}", ((IMethodMessage) msg).MethodName); return nextSink.AsyncProcessMessage(msg, replySink); } When I made calls to my object from the client, I see the Sync call printed out to the Console window as expected, but I cannot manage to get the AsyncProcessMessage called in any circumstance. I tried doing the following in my client: int i = 0; DoSomethingDelegate del = new DoSomethingDelegate(server.DoSomething); IAsyncResult asyncRes = del.BeginInvoke(i, null, null); Thread.Sleep(1000); del.EndInvoke(asyncRes); And it didn't work. I tried also marking the DoSomething method of the server with [OneWay] and removing the EndInvoke part, but it didn't worked either. I would appreciate any help that could be provided. I have the entire solution of this simple example and I can send it by mail to anyone. =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor(r) http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
