Procedura: Scaricare file in background

Il download di file è un'attività comune. Spesso è utile eseguire questa operazione potenzialmente dispendiosa in termini di tempo in un thread separato. Usare il componente BackgroundWorker per eseguire questa attività con una quantità di codice molto ridotta.

Esempio

L'esempio di codice seguente illustra come usare un componente BackgroundWorker per caricare un file XML da un URL. Quando l'utente fa clic sul pulsante Download , il Click gestore eventi chiama il RunWorkerAsync metodo di un BackgroundWorker componente per avviare l'operazione di download. Il pulsante è disattivato per la durata del download e quindi abilitato una volta che il download è completato. Un oggetto MessageBox visualizza i contenuti del file.

    }

Download del file

Il file viene scaricato nel thread di lavoro BackgroundWorker del componente, che esegue il gestore eventi DoWork. Questo thread inizia nel momento in cui il codice chiama il metodo RunWorkerAsync.

private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(
    object sender,
    DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
    document = new XmlDocument();

    // Uncomment the following line to

End Sub

Attesa della fine di un metodo BackgroundWorker

Il gestore eventi downloadButton_Click illustra come attendere il completamento di un'attività asincrona da parte di un componente BackgroundWorker.

Se si vuole solo che l'applicazione risponda ad eventi e non si vuole eseguire lavoro nel thread principale durante l'attesa del completamento del thread in background, è sufficiente uscire dal gestore.

Se si vuole continuare a lavorare nel thread principale, usare la proprietà IsBusy per determinare se il thread BackgroundWorker è ancora in esecuzione. In questo esempio viene aggiornato un indicatore di stato durante l'elaborazione del download. Assicurarsi di chiamare il metodo Application.DoEvents per mantenere reattiva l'interfaccia utente.

private void downloadButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Start the download operation in the background.
    this.backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync();

    // Disable the button for the duration of the download.
    this.downloadButton.Enabled = false;

    // Once you have started the background thread you
    // can exit the handler and the application will
    // wait until the RunWorkerCompleted event is raised.

    // Or if you want to do something else in the main thread,
    // such as update a progress bar, you can do so in a loop
    // while checking IsBusy to see if the background task is
    // still running.

    while (this.backgroundWorker1.IsBusy)
    {
        progressBar1.Increment(1);
        // Keep UI messages moving, so the form remains
        // responsive during the asynchronous operation.
        Application.DoEvents();
    }
}

Private Sub downloadButton_Click( _
    ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As EventArgs) _
    Handles downloadButton.Click

    ' Start the download operation in the background.
    Me.backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync()

    ' Disable the button for the duration of the download.
    Me.downloadButton.Enabled = False

    ' Once you have started the background thread you 
    ' can exit the handler and the application will 
    ' wait until the RunWorkerCompleted event is raised.

    ' If you want to do something else in the main thread,
    ' such as update a progress bar, you can do so in a loop 
    ' while checking IsBusy to see if the background task is
    ' still running.
    While Me.backgroundWorker1.IsBusy
        progressBar1.Increment(1)
        ' Keep UI messages moving, so the form remains 
        ' responsive during the asynchronous operation.
        Application.DoEvents()
    End While
End Sub

Visualizzazione del risultato

Il metodo backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted gestisce l'evento RunWorkerCompleted e viene chiamato quando l'operazione in background viene completata. Questo metodo verifica prima di tutto la proprietà AsyncCompletedEventArgs.Error. Se AsyncCompletedEventArgs.Error è null, il metodo visualizza il contenuto del file, quindi abilita il pulsante di download, disabilitato all'inizio del download, e reimposta l'indicatore di stato.

private void backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(
    object sender,
    RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    // Set progress bar to 100% in case it's not already there.
    progressBar1.Value = 100;

    if (e.Error == null)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(document.InnerXml, "Download Complete");
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show(
            "Failed to download file",
            "Download failed",
            MessageBoxButtons.OK,
            MessageBoxIcon.Error);
    }

    // Enable the download button and reset the progress bar.
    this.downloadButton.Enabled = true;
    progressBar1.Value = 0;
}

Private Sub backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted( _
    ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs) _
    Handles backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerCompleted

    ' Set progress bar to 100% in case it isn't already there.
    progressBar1.Value = 100

    If e.Error Is Nothing Then
        MessageBox.Show(document.InnerXml, "Download Complete")
    Else
        MessageBox.Show("Failed to download file", "Download failed", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
    End If

    ' Enable the download button and reset the progress bar.
    Me.downloadButton.Enabled = True
    progressBar1.Value = 0
End Sub

Compilazione del codice

L'esempio presenta i requisiti seguenti:

• Riferimenti agli assembly System.Drawing, System.Windows.Forms e System.Xml.

Programmazione efficiente

Verificare sempre la presenza della proprietà AsyncCompletedEventArgs.Error nel gestore eventi RunWorkerCompleted prima di tentare di accedere alla proprietà RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs.Result o ad eventuali altri oggetti che possano essere influenzati dal gestore eventi DoWork.
