Ok, now it's more clear. Lets see what happens, step by step:
1) you create Client object: async_resolve is queued to the io_service object, which is not running yet
2) you call Client::Send - io_service::run is called (note: the caller of Client::Send() will now wait until (8) )
3) io_service starts dispatching the pending async_resolve request
4) handler of async_resolve is called, which in turn queues async_connect
5) handler of async_connect is called - async_write is queued; at this point your buffer is consumed and sent to the peer
6) handler of async_write is called - async_read is queued
7) etc... until at some stage read/write chain ends, i.e. all handlers are done and no more i/o request is queued
8) only *now*, when there's no more work, io_service::run exits, and so does your Send() function - the caller may now continue with his stuff.
Actually, you got synchronous i/o, but I guess this wasn't your intent, was it? If it was, you could just use simple synchronous functions: resolve(); connect(); write(); read() - much simpler and with the same effect.
What you could do to take an advantage of the async.i/o is to run the io_service in some other thread, like in this example:
