Procedura: scaricare file in background

Aggiornamento: novembre 2007

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

Esempio

Nell'esempio di codice riportato di seguito è illustrato l'utilizzo di un componente BackgroundWorker per caricare un file XML da un URL. Quando l'utente sceglie il pulsante Download, il gestore eventi Click chiama il metodo RunWorkerAsync di un componente BackgroundWorker 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. La classe MessageBox consente di visualizzare il contenuto del file.

Download di file

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

Private Sub backgroundWorker1_DoWork( _
ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As DoWorkEventArgs) _
Handles backgroundWorker1.DoWork

    document = New XmlDocument()

    ' Replace this file name with a valid file name.
    document.Load("http://www.tailspintoys.com/sample.xml")

    ' Uncomment the following line to
    ' simulate a noticeable latency.
    'Thread.Sleep(5000);
End Sub
private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(
    object sender, 
    DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
    document = new XmlDocument();

    // Replace this file name with a valid file name.
    document.Load(@"http://www.tailspintoys.com/sample.xml");

    // Uncomment the following line to
    // simulate a noticeable latency.
    //Thread.Sleep(5000);
}

Attesa della fine di un BackgroundWorker

Il gestore eventi dowloadButton_Click illustra come viene atteso il completamento di un'attività asincrona da parte di un componente BackgroundWorker. Utilizzare la proprietà IsBusy per determinare se il thread BackgroundWorker è ancora in esecuzione. Se il codice è contenuto nel thread principale dell'interfaccia utente, come nel caso del gestore eventi Click, chiamare il metodo Application.DoEvents per mantenere reattiva l'interfaccia utente.

Private Sub dowloadButton_Click( _
ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As EventArgs) _
Handles dowloadButton.Click

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

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

    ' Wait for the BackgroundWorker to finish the download.
    While Me.backgroundWorker1.IsBusy
        ' Keep UI messages moving, so the form remains 
        ' responsive during the asynchronous operation.
        Application.DoEvents()
    End While

    ' The download is done, so enable the button.
    Me.dowloadButton.Enabled = True
End Sub
private void dowloadButton_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.dowloadButton.Enabled = false;

    // Wait for the BackgroundWorker to finish the download.
    while (this.backgroundWorker1.IsBusy)
    {
        // Keep UI messages moving, so the form remains 
        // responsive during the asynchronous operation.
        Application.DoEvents();
    }

    // The download is done, so enable the button.
    this.dowloadButton.Enabled = true;
}

Visualizzazione del risultato

Il metodo backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted gestisce l'evento RunWorkerCompleted e viene chiamato quando l'operazione in background viene completata. Viene verificata la proprietà AsyncCompletedEventArgs.Error e, se è null, viene visualizzato il contenuto del file.

Private Sub backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(sender As Object, e As RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs) Handles backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerCompleted
   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
 End Sub
private void backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(
    object sender, 
    RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Error == null)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(document.InnerXml, "Download Complete");
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show(
            "Failed to download file", 
            "Download failed", 
            MessageBoxButtons.OK, 
            MessageBoxIcon.Error );
    }
}

Compilazione del codice

Per questo esempio sono necessari i seguenti requisiti:

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

Per informazioni sulla generazione di questo esempio dalla riga di comando per Visual Basic o Visual C#, vedere Compilazione dalla riga di comando (Visual Basic) o Compilazione dalla riga di comando con csc.exe. È anche possibile generare questo esempio in Visual Studio incollando il codice in un nuovo progetto.

Programmazione efficiente

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