C#.NET : Creating a worker thread in C#.NET?

How can we create a worker thread in C#.NET? You can use the component BackgroundWorker








Drag and drop the component into your form and double click the object a function is create like below,









You can put your code inside this function and make sure you won't be accessing a object that
is being used by the main thread.

To start the thread call,


backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync();
and to support cancellation of thread you must set this property,

backgroundWorker1.WorkerSupportsCancellation = true;

and to cancel the thread call,


backgroundWorker1.CancelAsync();

That's it!
