Cancel async web service calls

Question

I need to be able to cancel async calls made to my webservice. One solution I have is to use manage my own threads, and use synchronous methods from the SOAP client. This works

Answer 1

Yes, you can use Abort method but keep below notes in mind. You can also use CancelAsync.

Abort notes: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480512.aspx

When you call the Abort method, any outstanding requests will still complete, but they will complete with a fault. This means that if you are using callbacks, your callback function will still be called for each outstanding request . When the EndInvoke method is called, or in our case, the wrapper function EndDelayedResponse, then a fault will be generated indicating that the underlying connection has been closed.
