) As IAsyncResult

public IAsyncResult BeginRestore( 
   Stream stream
)

Parameters

stream

The System.IO.Stream object to read the script from.

Return Value

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

To start the restore operation, you have to call BeginRestore(Stream) 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 backup operation, call EndRestore. If at the moment you call this function the restore operation has not yet been finished, application stops and waits till the function returns.

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
