Vorgehensweise: Ausführen eines Vorgangs im Hintergrund

Gibt es einen Vorgang, der bis zu seinem Abschluss eine lange Zeit in Anspruch nimmt, und Sie möchten keine Verzögerungen in der Benutzeroberfläche verursachen, können Sie die BackgroundWorker-Klasse dazu verwenden, den Vorgang über einen anderen Thread auszuführen.

Im folgenden Codebeispiel wird gezeigt, wie ein zeitaufwändiger Vorgang im Hintergrund ausgeführt wird. Das Formular verfügt über die Schaltflächen Start und Abbrechen. Klicken Sie auf die Schaltfläche Start, um einen asynchronen Vorgang auszuführen. Klicken Sie auf die Schaltfläche Abbrechen, um einen aktiven asynchronen Vorgang anzuhalten. Das Ergebnis jedes Vorgangs wird in einem MessageBox-Steuerelement angezeigt.

Visual Studio bietet umfassende Unterstützung für diese Aufgabe.
