It all depends on what your Async method accepts. Normally it will accept a "special" class that also holds an event. You can subscribe your callback method to that event and pass it along with the method. When it's finished, your callback method will be called.

An example of this (for sockets) would be:

    public void CreateSocket()
    {
        Socket s = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
        SocketAsyncEventArgs sockAsync = new SocketAsyncEventArgs();
        sockAsync.Completed += SockAsync_Completed;

        s.ConnectAsync(sockAsync);
    }

    private void SockAsync_Completed(object sender, SocketAsyncEventArgs e)
    {
        //Do stuff with your callback object.
    }

It all depends on what the method you are trying to call can accept. I would look at the documentation for more help on that specifically.
