asyncRule_Complete returned value not set

In cslavb-3.6.3-090929.zip ValidationRules.vb, asyncRule_Complete is defined as:

Private Function asyncRule_Complete(ByVal target As Object, ByVal e As AsyncRuleResult) As Boolean

But in the method, the boolean result value is never set.

What should the returned boolean value be?

Sean may be able to provide more insight, but if I remember right the problem here is that VB lambda expressions can't be void (Sub) - they must be a Function. But in reality this one should be a Sub - so it was made into a Function due to a limitation of VB, but the return value is not used.

A lot of that async code will become MUCH simpler with VB10 when VB gets the missing lambda features that are really necessary to do this sort of work.
