would like for device_OnPacketArrival to be async, but PacketCapture e doesn't support

[TXAE]

Hi,

I would like for device_OnPacketArrival to be async, but PacketCapture e doesn't support that.
It is an OnPacketArrival void:
device.OnPacketArrival += new PacketArrivalEventHandler(device_OnPacketArrival);
Is this planned or am I doing somethin wrong?

private static async void device_OnPacketArrival(object sender, PacketCapture e) { /* magic */ }
==> Gives me CS4012: Variables of type PacketCapture cannot be declared in async methods

You need to use e.GetPacket() to get the RawCapture object, then you can use that in an async method.

[TXAE]

For a PacketArrivalEventHandler-Method, the use of object sender, PacketCapture e as parameters is a must. I cannot declare the method async when obligatory parameters cannot be used in an async method, no matter how I obtain the RawCapture object in that method.

You need a wrapper

        private static void device_OnPacketArrival(object sender, PacketCapture e)
        {
            device_OnPacketArrivalAsync(sender, e.GetPacket());
        }
        private static async void device_OnPacketArrivalAsync(object sender, RawCapture e)
        {
            // Logic here
        }

it worked! :) Thank you!
