BackgroundWorker 类学习与实践心得
1.问题描述
今天遇到一个问题，我有一个WinForm的程序，其中有个地方用WebClinet下载一些东西。当我选择保存路径后点确定，这个时候保存路径对话框会被卡住几秒钟后才关闭，之后开始下载流程……
我期望的是这个路径保存对话框应该是在点击确定后立即关闭，至于要等待一会儿才能下载这个没有关系，但是不能出现保存路径对话框的假死状态。因此我开始寻求问题的解决方法
2.问题解决
在网上查找了类似的问题，但是始终没有结果。无意中看到了一个叫BackgroundWorker，从名字上听起来似乎就能解决我的问题。于是乎上了MSDN查找这个类的相关信息，MSDN上是这样说的：
BackgroundWorker 类允许您在单独的专用线程上运行操作。耗时的操作（如下载和数据库事务）在长时间运行时可能会导致用户界面 (UI) 似乎处于停止响应状态。如果您需要能进行响应的用户界面，而且面临与这类操作相关的长时间延迟，则可以使用 BackgroundWorker 类方便地解决问题。
若要在后台执行耗时的操作，请创建一个 BackgroundWorker，侦听那些报告操作进度并在操作完成时发出信号的事件。可以通过编程方式创建 BackgroundWorker，也可以将它从“工具箱”的“组件”选项卡中拖到窗体上。如果在 Windows 窗体设计器中创建 BackgroundWorker，则它会出现在组件栏中，而且它的属性会显示在“属性”窗口中。
若要设置后台操作，请为 DoWork 事件添加一个事件处理程序。在此事件处理程序中调用耗时的操作。若要启动该操作，请调用 RunWorkerAsync。若要收到进度更新通知，请对 ProgressChanged 事件进行处理。若要在操作完成时收到通知，请对 RunWorkerCompleted 事件进行处理。
突然感觉到这个就是我要的。于是分析了他的c#的demo
