Queue-Based Background Processing in ASP.NET MVC Web Application [closed]

Answer 1

Just found this question when searching for background process in ASP.NET MVC. (Available after .NET 4.5.2)

public ActionResult InitiateLongRunningProcess(Emails emails)
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
       HostingEnvironment.QueueBackgroundWorkItem(ct => LongRunningProcessAsync(emails.Email));
       return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
    }

    return View(user);
}

Note: Personally I won't use the Webserver to run background tasks. Also don't reinvent the wheel, I would highly recommend to use Hangfire.
