Question

I need to call a webservice but I dont care if I get need a response or the service is down (fire and forget). Im currentlly using a try catch to compe with this.

My Question Is there a better way?

This would be a great case for one-way or "fire and forget" serivces:

[ServiceContract]
interface IMyContract
{
   [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
   void MyMethod()
}

Leaves the client with no need to mess with async hoo-ha, just make the call and get on with life.

   string webServ = "addressofwebservice";
   AsyncCallback asyncCall = new AsyncCallback(CallBack);
   webServ.BeginSomeFunkyMethod(data, asyncCall, webServ);

...

private void CallbackSampleMethod(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
{
   if(asyncResult != null)
   {
       doFunkyStuff();
   }
   // else I really don't care...
}

How about that ?
