In computer software, the '''Event-Based Asynchronous Pattern''' is a [[design pattern (computing)|design pattern]] that is intended to overcome some of the difficulties of the [[Asynchronous Pattern]] in [[multithreading|multithreaded]] applications. In this pattern, components offer asynchronous [[method (computer science)|method]]s that have "<tt>Async</tt>" suffixed to their name and define associated [[event (computing)|event]]s whose names have "<tt>Completed</tt>" suffixed.<ref name=PC#2008>{{cite book|title=Professional C# 2008|author=Christian Nagel, Bill Evjen, Jay Glynn, Karli Watson, and Morgan Skinner|pages=570&ndash;571|publisher=Wiley|date=2008|isbn=0470191376|isbn13=9780470191378|chapter=Event-based Asynchronous Pattern}}</ref>

One implementation of the Event-Based Asychronous Pattern is the <tt>BackgroundWorker</tt> class in [[.NET Framework#.NET Framework 2.0|Microsoft .NET version 2.0]].<ref name=PC#2008 />
