Hi,
I'm having problems with an asp.net application and an existing webservice (with Async methods). Generally, the code works like this:
1) the user starts a 'session' (= a connection to a PBX / call center).
2) a webservice method is called to listen for all events (call center agent loggin in, setting a pause activity, ...). This method is called GetEvents (will raise GetEventsCompleted when something is received).
3) once GetEventsCompleted is raised, the user should do a new request for new events. If not, an "are you alive" event is raised (in the GetEventsCompleted sub). If the (getEvents method) isn't launched within 60sec, the session gets disconnected automatically.
At this moment, I succeed in
1) starting the session (I call the GetEvents method)
2) I receive the first event in getEventsCompleted (agent = ready)
3) session stops because I don't launch a new GetEvents method and the "are you alive" event isn't answered.
So, now I try to call the GetEvents method again when entering the GetEventsCompleted code. This seems to work. Every time I receive an event, I tell the application to wait for new events. Like expected, the webpage keeps loading...
But...I placed a textbox in an UpdatePanel, hoping this textbox would show the last event. However, the box stays empty. (the page itself doesn't seem to keep loading, because I'm using the UpdatePanel). Debugging shows the session stays open (which is ok). The UpdatePanel has the property updateMode="always" (also tried with conditional & updating the panel by code)
Anybody know how to solve this problem? Below, the actual (relevant) code... The async methodes and events work correctly in a windows form application, but there I don't have to deal with postbacks, ...
