Examples

In this example an AsyncSubject is used to subscribe to an integer sequence generated with the Range operator. An AsyncSubject only returns a value when the sequence it is subscribed to completes. Once the sequence has completed, the AsyncSubject will publish the final item in the sequence. The AsyncSubject caches the final item. Any new subscriptions against that AsyncSubject will also have the final item published to that subscription as well.

      var intSequence = Observable.Range(0, 10, Scheduler.ThreadPool);

      AsyncSubject<int> myAsyncSubject = new AsyncSubject<int>();
      intSequence.Subscribe(myAsyncSubject);

      Thread.Sleep(1000);
      myAsyncSubject.Subscribe(i => Console.WriteLine("Final integer for subscription #1 is {0}\n", i),
                               () => Console.WriteLine("subscription #1 completed.\n"));
                                
      
      Console.WriteLine("Sleeping for 5 seconds before subscription2\n");
      Thread.Sleep(5000);

      myAsyncSubject.Subscribe(i => Console.WriteLine("Final integer for subscription #2 after 5 seconds is {0}\n", i),
                               () => Console.WriteLine("subscription #2 completed.\n"));


      Console.WriteLine("Press ENTER to exit...");
      Console.ReadLine();

      myAsyncSubject.Dispose();
    }
  }
}

The following output was generated by the example code.

Final integer for subscription #1 is 9

subscription #1 completed.

Sleeping for 5 seconds before subscription2

Final integer for subscription #2 after 5 seconds is 9

subscription #2 completed.

Press ENTER to exit...
