Extend ASP.NET MVC for Asynchronous Action
Numerous new features come into people’s eyes since ASP.NET 2.0 and asynchronous request handling is one of the most important parts. It reduces the working thread number by the async mechanism based on IO completion port when processing IO bound request and improves throughput of web sites significantly (please refer to the theory analyzing and benchmarks if you can read Chinese :P). But the current version of ASP.NET MVC doesn’t support async actions and that’s just ‘the missing key feature’ I mentioned before. I gave a so-called solution that introduced the async action to ASP.NET MVC in my session of TechED 2008 China but it’s full of limitations and inappropriate for production use.
