Handling multiple requests with C# HttpListener

Question

I have a .NET Windows Service which spawns a thread that basically just acts as an HttpListener. This is working fine in synchronous mode example...

If you need a more simple alternative to BeginGetContext, you can merely queue jobs in ThreadPool, instead of executing them on the main thread. Like such:

private void CreateLListener() {
    //....
    while(true) {
        ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(Process, listener.GetContext());    
    }
}
void Process(object o) {
    var context = o as HttpListenerContext;
    // process request and make response
}
