Fritz Onion (who, in my view wrote the very best ASP.NET book for V1.0) has a
great post
here
about doing asynchronous web pages in V2.0 of the framework.
Go read it and see how easy it is - it's neat, it's concise and it's simple.
The small test result grids that he's got are pretty cool as well - notice that
when he did a synchronous page he ended up with 33 (seems a lot!) threads
handling his requests whereas when he went down the async route he ended up with
just 2 :-)
