Hi Alaxala,
thanks for the input! I made some progress and I can confirm we need the event handlers.
I discovered that async code in server Method is something we cannot achieve in the standard Method editor.
Good old Chris even gave an explanation years ago:
--> C# code basically gets plugged into another method before it gets compiled. This other method that your code gets inserted into does not use the async keyword, so you will not be able to take advantage of asynchronous code for your server Method items.
So we have to build something outside the Method editor with Visual Studio. I was able to build a standalone EXE that can do the connection and downloads something. But I want something that blends into our Innovator.
Does anyone has experience with building ASP.NET Webapplications with VC? My idea is to build something that I than can integrate as TOC View. This should be possible if I link the app IIS and then make a link to the target page in my TOC View. That´s the theory.
@ Community: Which VC project template would you use for building a custom app that can be integrated into the existing Aras Client? Especially when we have to consider that Aras changed to ASP.NET Core in the new releases (do aspx pages still work?!?!)?
Would be happy if someone can share some experience!

Yes, the Aras Innovator inserts the body of our C# methods into the method of a special class created for each user server method. So there is code running before and after our. But AFAIK, this code defined in the method-config.xml on the server. I haven't tried it myself, but may be if you add your own template to this file and specify it as template for your method you can use async calls.
Are you use Aras Innovator Method Plugin for Visual Studio? I haven't used the Aras method editor for a long time. It is much more convenient to write code in the Visual Studio with syntax highlight, intellisense and so on, and then just copy it to Aras. And when you open method from Aras using this plugin, it downloads entire code, including hidden from method editor.
