DOFObjectbeginInvoke Method (DOFInterfaceMethod, IListDOFValue, Int32, DOFObjectInvokeOperationListener)OpenDOF Object Access Library
Used by a Requestor to invoke (or call) a method asynchronously or to invoke a method on multiple providers using an object with the DOFObjectID.BROADCAST ID.

Namespace: org.opendof.core.oal
Assembly: dof-oal (in dof-oal.dll) Version: 7.0.1.2
Syntax
C#
Copy
public DOFOperationInvoke beginInvoke(
	DOFInterfaceMethod method,
	IList<DOFValue> parameters,
	int timeout,
	DOFObjectInvokeOperationListener operationListener
)

Parameters

method
Type: org.opendof.core.oalDOFInterfaceMethod
The method. Must not be null.
parameters
Type: System.Collections.GenericIListDOFValue
The method's parameter list. The data types must match the method's defined parameter types. Null is the same as an empty parameter list.
timeout
Type: SystemInt32
Maximum time to wait, in milliseconds, to obtain the result(s) of the operation. Must be >= 0. NOTE: If the number of responders is unknown, as is typically the case when making requests on an object with the DOFObjectID.BROADCAST ID, then the operation will always wait for the entire timeout period.
operationListener
Type: org.opendof.core.oalDOFObjectInvokeOperationListener
Listener to receive the result. May be null -- the initial result may be obtained by calling Invoke.waitResult(int) . Subsequent results are only reported to the operationListener.

Return Value

Type: DOFOperationInvoke
The invoke operation. Will not be null.
