Wait for Async Method to Complete

See more Async Examples

Demonstrates using the Wait method to wait for an asynchronous method to complete. This example will do an SFTP upload (over SSH) and will use the Async version of each method. Obviously, waiting for the async method to complete is the same as making a synchronous call, but an application wouldn't typically do this. An application might, for example, do other things as a background task is running, and then later wait for the task to complete. AutoIt
