This recipe will describe different ways to create an Observable object.

Getting ready

To step through this recipe, you will need a running Visual Studio 2012. No other prerequisites are required. The source code for this recipe could be found at BookSamples\Chapter8\Recipe4.

How to do it...

To understand different ways of creating an Observable object, perform the following steps:

1. Start Visual Studio 2012. Create a new C# Console Application project.

2. Add reference to the Reactive Extensions Main Library NuGet package. Refer to the Converting a collection to asynchronous Observable recipe for details on how to do this.

3. In the Program.cs file, add the following using directives:

   using System;
   using System.Reactive.Disposables;
   using System.Reactive.Linq;
   using System.Threading;

4. Add the following code snippet below the Main method:
