How to wait a task after cloning VM with VMWare.vim.dll ?

Hello everybody,

 

I work on a web interface which manage virtual machines on vsphere Esx 5.5. My interface is based on .net web forms (not MVC)

I followed jeffpaton posts (using VMware.Vim  ) which helped me (Thanks to you, Jeff).

 

But now i freeze on this subject. I do not know how to wait a task after cloning VM. I develop a little web page which launch vsphere command to my vsphere Esc with vmware.vim. I need to know when vpshere is finished his work to launch an another instruction.

 

I try to use PropertyCollector but i do not know how to use it :

i read this post but without success :

Synchronous versus Asynchronous Calls in vSphere API | DoubleCloud => Private Cloud + Public Cloud

What is the best way to wait for a Task in a concurrent environment?

 

Here is my code. i use jeffpaton functions.

 

...

using VMware.Vim;

...

VimClient client;

string serverUrl = "..."

client.Connect("https://" + serverUrl + "/sdk");

client.Login(userLogin, userPassword);

 

...

 

ManagedObjectReference cloneTask_MoRef = null;

cloneTask_MoRef = sourceVm.cloneVM_Task(sourceVm.Parent, "cloneName", mySpec);

if (cloneTask_MoRef == null) {

     //error

}else

     {

          PropertyCollector pc = new PropertyCollector(client, cloneTask_MoRef);

          //1 PropertyFilterSpec [] pfs;

          //ObjectSpec

          ObjectSpec objectSpec = new ObjectSpec();

                          

          //PropertySpec

          //What could i do to know if the task is over or in progress ? :-(

 

I need some help.

 

Thanks for all.
