Posts (async)

This is a demonstration of GenericServices' database CRUD (Create, Read, Update/Edit and Delete) services done asynchronously, i.e. using Entity Framework 6's Async commands. Async commands are designed to free up the current thread while something outside the web server is running, in this case a database access. This should make the site able to handle more users, but the individual action takes a little bit longer. (See Posts for normal versions of the same commands).

Below you will see a table of posts which can be manipulated. We have chosen a POST as an example as it has the following attributes:

• When we list them we want 'shape' what the user sees, i.e. we leave out the content but include the blogger Name and Tags.
• The create and edit commands are non-trivial because Posts links to other tables, like author and the tags.
