I have a VisualStudio Add-in (plug-in), when the function of this Add-in is triggered, it will take a few seconds to finish. During this period, the UI is blocked. How can I avoid blocking the UI?

Do the actual work in a thread such as a BackgroundWorker. This will keep the UI thread responsive since it isn't handling the expensive operation.
