BackgroundWorker.RunWorkerAsync Method

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub RunWorkerAsync

public void RunWorkerAsync()

Exceptions

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();
    }
}
