Asynchronous method invocation

In computer software, the Event-Based Asynchronous Pattern is a design pattern that is intended to overcome some of the difficulties of the Asynchronous Pattern in multithreaded applications. In this pattern, components offer asynchronous methods that have "Async" suffixed to their name and define associated events whose names have "Completed" suffixed.[1]

One implementation of the Event-Based Asychronous Pattern is the BackgroundWorker class in Microsoft .NET version 2.0.[1]
