Need sample fire and forget async call to WCF service

Question

On a scheduled interval I need to call a WCF service call another WCF Service asyncronously. Scheduling a call to a WCF service I have worked out.

What I think I ne

Answer 1

Set the IsOneWay property of the OperationContract attribute to true on the WCF method that you are calling to. This tells WCF that the call only matters for one direction and the client won't hang around for the method to finish executing.

Even when calling BeginInvoke your client code will still hang-out waiting for the server method to finish executing but it will do it on a threadpool thread.

[ServiceContract]
interface IWCFContract
{
   [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
   void CallMe()
}

The other way to do what you want is to have the WCF service spin its work off onto a background thread and return immediately.
