Making asynchronous calls

Hi Simon

This is correct, my service is essentially a proxy for another service, it adds a little additional business logic which parses some XML and what not. So, what you are suggesting here is that within my service, I call my 3rd party service in the same way in which I call my own service from my client? (wow that was confusing). So effectively I can call a synchronous service, in an asynchronous manor, is that correct?
 
Failing that then you're probably right, a worker thread might work, either that or kick the guys who built the original library and try fixing it so its a asynchronous call.
 
Thanks mate,
 
Robert
