BizTalk has a fairly extensive API for adapter development, which includes
support for both sinchronous and asynchronous adapters. The exact
implementation will depend on what your adapter does and whether this is a
send or receive side adapter. Check out the section in the documentation
called "About Adapter Run Time Development" for more details on these APIs
and how to implement each one.

That said, in some cases your adapter will want to use the .NET framework
facilities for async behavior. The BizTalk APIs basically deal with enabling
the adapter to work in an async manner *with respect to the BizTalk
Runtime*, but only that... if you need other async aspects (such as in
regard to internal implementation details or protocol details), then you'll
need to use the .NET runtime facilities for that.
