In that function the BeginGetContext call is made, and this will throw the InvalidOperationException when the _Server object is stopped. So the thread he creates really does exit when the _Server stops. He will just need to catch the InvalidOperationException

When I call EndGetContext, the server is able to process another request

Looks like you need to refactor this. Consider a design where each request will have it's own IAsyncResult instance. I guess that should solve the problem

Do you mean the pattern in my code is not truly handles incoming requests at the same time?

George_George wrote:

Are there any benefits doing this? Could you show me a couple of lines of pseudo code please?
