BREAK OUT OF SYNCHRONIZATION BOTTLENECKS 
 
One of the primary obstacles .NET Web services developers face is the 
issue of synchronous communication lag. In many cases, the Asynchronous 
Invocation Application Block (AIAB) can solve this problem. If you're 
developing a Web services application that relies on synchronous data 
invocation, this .NET tool may be your ticket to increased efficiency. 
 
Web services applications that require data from multiple sources to 
complete a transaction often suffer from extended lag times, as a 
single data source failure can stall the complete transaction process. 
Asynchronous invocation allows for transactions to proceed despite 
outside data source delays; this means that developers can build in 
contingencies and fail-safes for such instances that won't bog down 
your Web services application. 
 
This article discusses how to implement the AIAB and explores the 
capabilities of this tool. Find out how you can streamline your Web 
services' performance and keep data lags from becoming a serious 
problem.
