microsoft.web.administration applicationpool.stop is asynchronous?

Hi,

is the microsoft.web.administration.applicationpool.stop method asynchronous ?

The attached code returns false logging state is stopping.

How can I correctly stop application pool and wait until it is stopped without cycle with System.Threading.Thread.Sleep?

Why this behavoiur is not documented ?

Thank You

public bool Stop()
{
 var serverManager = new ServerManager();
 var currentState = ObjectState.Unknown;
 try
 {
  ApplicationPoolCollection applicationPoolCollection = serverManager.ApplicationPools;
  ApplicationPool applicationPool = applicationPoolCollection[mAppPoolName];

  if (applicationPool.State == ObjectState.Started)
  {
   SmtLogger.WriteInfo("Current application pool state is {0}", applicationPool.State);
   SmtLogger.WriteInfo("Stopping application pool...");
   currentState = applicationPool.Stop();
   
   // CommitChanges to persist the changes to the ApplicationHost.config.
   serverManager.CommitChanges();
   SmtLogger.WriteInfo("Application pool stopped successfully. Currentstate: {0}", currentState);                   
  }
  else if (applicationPool.State == ObjectState.Stopped)
  {
   SmtLogger.WriteInfo("Application pool already stopped. Currentstate: {0}", currentState);
   currentState = ObjectState.Stopped;   
  }               
 }
 catch (Exception exc)
 {
  SmtLogger.WriteError("An error occurred: {0}", exc.Message);
 }
 return currentState == ObjectState.Stopped;
}
