If I were to call an async beginxxx method that returns an IAsyncResult when
exactly would the AsyncWaitHandle be signaled? Before or after the
corresponding endxxx method completes? Immediately after?

All of the EndXXX methods I've worked with block if the operation is
still pending. In those cases the WaitHandle is signaled prior to
completion and often time before EndXXX is even called.
 
OK, thanks.
