BeginExecuteReader(AsyncCallback, Object, CommandBehavior) method

Initiates the asynchronous execution of a SQL statement or stored procedure that is described by this SACommand, and retrieves one or more result sets from the server.

Syntax

Visual Basic

Public Function BeginExecuteReader( _
   ByVal callback As AsyncCallback, _
   ByVal stateObject As Object, _
   ByVal behavior As CommandBehavior _
) As IAsyncResult

C#

public IAsyncResult BeginExecuteReader(
   AsyncCallback callback,
   object stateObject,
   CommandBehavior behavior
);

Parameters

callback An AsyncCallback delegate that is invoked when the command's execution has completed. Pass null (Nothing in Microsoft Visual Basic) to indicate that no callback is required.
stateObject A user-defined state object that is passed to the callback procedure. Retrieve this object from within the callback procedure using the IAsyncResult.AsyncState.
behavior A bitwise combination of CommandBehavior flags describing the results of the query and its effect on the connection.

Return value

An [external link] IAsyncResult that can be used to poll, wait for results, or both; this value is also needed when invoking EndExecuteReader(IAsyncResult), which returns an SADataReader object that can be used to retrieve the returned rows.
