Quick question - is it possible to have two background workers running at once? I seem to remember trying this once and getting an error, and also seem to remember reading that you can only have one... I can't find another thread that talks about having more than one explicitly though..
Any thoughts are much appreciated!
Cheers
You can have as many background workers as you like and running simultaneously. Example:
var worker1 = new BackgroundWorker { WorkerReportsProgress = true }; var worker2 = new BackgroundWorker { WorkerReportsProgress = true }; DoWorkEventHandler doWork = (sender, e) => { for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { var progress = (int)((i + 1) * 100.0 / 10); var worker = (BackgroundWorker)sender; worker.ReportProgress(progress); Thread.Sleep(500); } }; worker1.DoWork += doWork; worker2.DoWork += doWork; worker1.ProgressChanged += (sender, e) => { label1.Text = e.ProgressPercentage.ToString(); }; worker2.ProgressChanged += (sender, e) => { label2.Text = e.ProgressPercentage.ToString(); }; worker1.RunWorkerAsync(); Thread.Sleep(1000); worker2.RunWorkerAsync();
