Hello,
I need to run the HttpContext.Current.Server.Execute method in my ASP.NET application. This application has a WCF operation that does some processing. Currently, I am running a Server.Execute call from within my WCF operation and getting the results I would
expect. However, I would like to do this asynchronously.This is where my problem comes in.
In an error to run Server.Execute asynchronously, I tried running Server.Execute in the DoWork event handler of a BackgroundWorker. Unfortunately, this throws an error that says
"object reference not set to an instance of an object"
The HttpContext element is not null. I checked that. It is some property nested in the HttpContext object that appears to be null. However, I have not been able to identify why this won't work. It happens as soon as I move the processing to the BackgroundWorker
thread.
My question is, how can I asynchronously execute the Server.Execute method? Are there options beyond BackgroundWorker that will work?
Thank you,
