| 1. A computer-implemented method having instructions executable by a processor, comprising:
receiving one or more application program interface (API) calls from one or more remote devices over a network to an application
program interface (API), wherein the API includes a set of base classes and types that are used in substantially all applications
executing on the one or more remote devices, wherein the set of base classes and types comprises:
an AsyncCallback delegate supplied to an application, wherein the AsyncCallback delegate references a callback method to be
called when a corresponding asynchronous operation is completed; and
an IAsyncResult interface that enables a determination of a status of an asynchronous operation, wherein the IAsyncResult
interface includes:
an AsyncState property that returns an object that was provided as a last parameter as part of a Begin call corresponding
to the asynchronous operation;
an AsyncWaitHandle property that returns a WaitHandle that can be used to allow the application to wait for a call to be completed
without needing to poll;
a CompletedSynchronously property that is set to true if the Begin call corresponding to the asynchronous operation completed
synchronously; and
an IsCompleted property that is set to true after processing if the asynchronous operation is complete; and
performing a function requested in each of the one or more calls.
