# AsyncBase::Close Method
Closes the asynchronous operation.  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
STDMETHOD(  
   Close  
)(void) override;  
```  
  
## Return Value  
 S_OK if the operation closes or is already closed; otherwise, E_ILLEGAL_STATE_CHANGE.  
  
## Remarks  
 Close() is a default implementation of IAsyncInfo::Close, and does no actual work. To actually close an asynchronous operation, override the OnClose() pure virtual method.  
  
## Requirements  
 **Header:** async.h  
  
 **Namespace:** Microsoft::WRL
