Devart.Common Namespace / DbDump Class / BeginBackupQuery Method / BeginBackupQuery(String,AsyncCallback,Object) Method
The query, returning data for backup.
The delegate to call when the asynchronous invoke is complete. If callback is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the delegate is not called.
State information that is passed on to the delegate.

In This Topic
    BeginBackupQuery(String,AsyncCallback,Object) Method
    In This Topic
    Starts an asynchronous invocation of a BackupQuery(String) method with information for callback function.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Overloads Function BeginBackupQuery( _
       ByVal query As String, _
       ByVal callback As AsyncCallback, _
       ByVal stateObject As Object _
    ) As IAsyncResult
    public IAsyncResult BeginBackupQuery( 
       string query,
       AsyncCallback callback,
       object stateObject
    )

    Parameters

    query
    The query, returning data for backup.
    callback
    The delegate to call when the asynchronous invoke is complete. If callback is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the delegate is not called.
    stateObject
    State information that is passed on to the delegate.

    Return Value

    An System.IAsyncResult interface that represents the asynchronous operation started by calling this method.
    Remarks

    BeginBackupQuery(String,AsyncCallback,Object) method enables you to perform a query backup operation without having current thread blocked. In other words, your program can continue execution while the backup runs in background so you do not have to wait for it.

    To start the query backup operation, you have to call BeginBackupQuery(String,AsyncCallback,Object) method, which in turn invokes appropriate actions in another thread. Return value of this method must be assigned to an System.IAsyncResult object. After executing this method, the program flow continues.

    When you are ready to finish the query backup operation, call EndBackupQuery. If at the moment you call this function the query backup has not yet been finished, application stops and waits till the function returns.
