How to return in a method before transaction?

Hi,

I have a method which returns 1 or 0 after some transactions. I wonder if there is a way to return 1 or 0 before the transactions? The reason is because there is a mechanism that waits for this return value and it is more important than the transaction itself.

This is my sample method:

public string retDrawProgram(System.Data.DataSet dsDrawProgram, string sDrawNumber, string sDataRevision)

{

//Here is my transactions

return 1;

}

Something like this perhaps. I've assumed that both methods will need the same set of parameters:

using System.Threading;

// ...

public string retDrawProgram(System.Data.DataSet dsDrawProgram, string sDrawNumber, string sDataRevision)
{
// do some processing

return "1"; // or "0"
}

public void DoTransactions(System.Data.DataSet dsDrawProgram, string sDrawNumber, string sDataRevision)
{
// do transactions
}

// call from some other method

Thread t = new Thread( () => DoTransactions(ds, number, revision) ); // using lambda expression so can easily pass arguments
t.Start();
string value = retDrawProgram(ds, number, revision); // will run concurrently with other method
// do something with value

Here is more info about the situation:

The mechanism which triggers this web service method, somehow could NOT get the returning value on time (or something like that) and keeps on trying to call this method. Thats why I want to send the return value immediately.

Hi Vulpes,

This is an interesting idea. How can I build such a structure? Can you please tell me more detailly?

Best Regards.

Why don't you have two methods:

one to return 1 or 0

the other to do the transactions

If you need these to run concurrently, you could call the transactions method on a separate thread.
