BackgroundWorker.RunWorkerAsync Method
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Starts running a background operation.
Namespace: System.ComponentModel
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Sub RunWorkerAsync
public void RunWorkerAsync()
Remarks
The RunWorkerAsync method submits a request to start the operation running asynchronously. When the request is processed, the DoWork event is raised, which in turn starts running your background operation.
If the background operation is already running, calling RunWorkerAsync again will raise an InvalidOperationException.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates the use of the RunWorkerAsync method to start a background operation. To view the complete code for this sample, see How to: Use a Background Worker.
Private Sub buttonStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)
If Not bw.IsBusy = True Then
bw.RunWorkerAsync()
End If
End Sub
private void buttonStart_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (bw.IsBusy != true)
{
bw.RunWorkerAsync();
}
}
