How do I use Winforms background worker?
To use a BackgroundWorker, you simply tell it what time-consuming worker method to execute in the background, and then you call the RunWorkerAsync method. Your calling thread continues to run normally while the worker method runs asynchronously.
What is the difference between thread class and background worker in .NET framework?
The BackgroundWorker class is essentially built on top of the Thread class. The RunWorkerCompleted event is what’s triggered when your DoWork event handler finishes up… but the big difference here is that RunWorkerCompleted runs on the thread that started the BackgroundWorker.
What is the backgroundworker class?
The BackgroundWorkerclass allows you to run an operation on a separate, dedicated thread. Time-consuming operations like downloads and database transactions can cause your user interface (UI) to seem as though it has stopped responding while they are running.
How do I run a background worker in a thread?
Create a BackgroundWorker object. Tell the BackgroundWorker object what task to run on the background thread (the DoWork function). Tell it what function to run on the UI thread when the work is complete (the RunWorkerCompleted function). BackgroundWorker uses the thread-pool, which recycles threads to avoid recreating them for each new task.
What are the rules for using backgroundworker in Java?
BackgroundWorker uses the thread-pool, which recycles threads to avoid recreating them for each new task. This means one should never call Abort on a BackgroundWorker thread. And a golden rule never to forget: Never access UI objects on a thread that didn’t create them.
Is using backgroundworker still a valid way of achieving this?
Background worker is still a valid way of achieving this – if you are running multiple large operations concurrently then the parallel extensions would be worth considering, if its just the one then I would stick with the backgroundworker. Thanks for contributing an answer to Stack Overflow!
