BackgroundWorker.OnDoWork Method

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected Overridable Sub OnDoWork ( _
    e As DoWorkEventArgs _
)

protected virtual void OnDoWork(
    DoWorkEventArgs e
)

Remarks

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Events Overview for Silverlight.

The OnDoWork method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding OnDoWork in a derived class, be sure to call the base class’s OnDoWork method so that registered delegates receive the event.
