In a few hours I will be giving a new presentation to the Atlanta MS Professionals User Group. The topic for tonight is Asynchronous UI.

I will be talking about a number of common development patterns, along with discussion of the benefits and tradeoffs of each, and demos of the more mainstream approaches. I will also be covering a very simple and elegant solution that meets most async requirements – Jeffrey Richter’s AsyncEnumerator.

In advance of tonight’s presentation, I am posting my slides and code early. You can download them from this link. They may also become available as a download for members of the MSPros user group after the session.

Also, as a raffle prize, I am donating a one-year subscription to MSDN Premium with Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite Edition. If you were to buy it from Amazon, this subscription would cost over $10,000, so be sure to show up tonight if for nothing else than to win.
