方法: バックグラウンドでファイルをダウンロードする

ファイルのダウンロードは一般的なタスクであり、時間のかかる可能性があるこの操作を別のスレッドで実行すると便利です。 ごくわずかなコードでこのタスクを実行するには、BackgroundWorker コンポーネントを使用します。

次のコード例は、BackgroundWorker コンポーネントを使用して、URL からの XML ファイルを読み込む方法を示しています。 ユーザーが [ダウンロード] ボタンをクリックすると、Click イベント ハンドラーによって BackgroundWorker コンポーネントの RunWorkerAsync メソッドが呼び出され、ダウンロード操作が開始されます。 ダウンロード中はボタンが無効になり、ダウンロードが完了すると有効になります。 MessageBox にファイルの内容が表示されます。

ファイルをダウンロードする

BackgroundWorker が完了するのを待つ

downloadButton_Click イベント ハンドラーが BackgroundWorker コンポーネントの非同期タスクの終了を待機する方法を示します。

アプリケーションがイベントへの応答のみを実行し、バック グラウンド スレッドを待機している間にメイン スレッドでその他の作業を実行しないようにする場合は、ハンドラーを終了します。

メイン スレッドで処理を続行する場合は、IsBusy プロパティを使用して、BackgroundWorker スレッドをまだ実行するかどうかを決定します。 例では、ダウンロードの処理中に、進行状況バーが更新されます。 必ず Application.DoEvents メソッドを呼び出して、UI 応答性を維持してください。

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

結果を表示する

backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted メソッドは、RunWorkerCompleted イベントを処理し、バック グラウンド操作が完了したときに呼び出されます。 このメソッドはまず、AsyncCompletedEventArgs.Error プロパティを確認します。 AsyncCompletedEventArgs.Errornull の場合に、このメソッドはファイルの内容を表示します。 これで、ダウンロードを開始したときに無効になっていた [ダウンロード] ボタンが有効になり、進行状況バーがリセットされます。

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
    {

            "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
