How do I wait for an async event to return in Silverlight for Windows Phone 8.1

     Private mTable As agDBConnect.Table
    Private autoResetEvent As New System.Threading.AutoResetEvent(False)

    Public Sub GetTableCompleted(sender As Object, e As agDBConnect.GetTableCompletedEventArgs)
        Try
            Me.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(New Action(Of agDBConnect.Table)(AddressOf FillTable), e.Result)
            autoResetEvent.Set()
        Catch ex As Exception
        End Try
    End Sub

    Private Sub FillTable(aTab As agDBConnect.Table)
        mTable = aTab
    End Sub

    Private Sub DoGetTable()
        AddHandler myagDBConnect.GetTableCompleted, AddressOf GetTableCompleted
        While myagDBConnect.State <> ServiceModel.CommunicationState.Opened
        End While
        myagDBConnect.GetTableAsync("SELECT * from s3USER")
        autoResetEvent.WaitOne()
    End Sub


  
    Private Async Sub btTestData_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs) Handles btTestData.Click
        Try
            Try
                mTable = Nothing
                Dim myThread As System.Threading.Thread = New Thread(AddressOf DoGetTable)
                myThread.Start()
                While myThread.ThreadState = ThreadState.Running

                End While
'>> don't want to be here until gettablecomplete has done
                If mTable IsNot Nothing AndAlso mTable.Rows.Count > 0 Then
                    txtDebug.Text = mTable.Rows(0).Columns(0).FieldName
                End If
            Catch ex As Exception
            End Try
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString, "System Error", MessageBoxButton.OK)
        End Try

    End Sub
