Hello,
I need to create a background thread and two (or more) options are available
to me:
1. BackgroundWorke r
2. Asynch delegate method and BeginInvoke
What are the differences between them in performance, complexity etc.
Thanks,

BackgroundWorke r is easier. Unless you have some specific reason to not use
it, that's probably your best choice.
Async delegate uses the thread pool just as BackgroundWorke r does, but it's
harder to use, will have no difference in performance, and is more complex.

I disagree. If you want to just execute an action, without cancelling
or notification while that action is performing on another thread, then I
would say using an asynchronous delegate call, the Thread class, or the
ThreadPool is much easer than the BackgroundWorke r class.
If you need updates from the background thread, and/or the ability to
cancel, then the BackgroundWorke r is the best option.

Hello,
Thanks for your anser.
My thead will communicate (send command/recieve status) through the
Ethernet. The status is a byte array, which I need to display on the screen.

Then you agree. In the case you describe, you have a specific reason not to
use BackgroundWorke r - your use case does not fit well with the
BackgroundWorke r model.

I'm not entirely sure what the difference is between these two approaches.
In order to avoid reentrant code, I was using Control.BeginInvoke in my UI
to cause an asynchronous activity to be done on the UI's message loop. I
began to get System.ExecutionEngineException errors so (on the theory of do
something different if what you're doing isn't working) I switched to using
delegate.BeginInvoke with the appropriate EndInvoke and the problem...

Hi,
I've omitted a large chunk of the code for clarity but the loop below is how
I'm calling a delegate function asynchronously. After I start the each call
I'm incrementing a counter and then making the main thread sleep until the
counter gets back to zero. The call back function for each call decrements
the counter. Is there a better way to make the thread wait until all calls
are complete besides using the counter? I've seen some things...

I'm using a BackgroundWorker to perform a file download from an ftp site.
Per good code design practices where I separate my UI code from my core

established Public Event in my core logic classes along with RaiseEvents
(that will updated a progress bar on the UI side). This all works great

In my ASP.Net app I'm launching a BackgroundWorker thread in my Page_Load

I have an application with several BackgroundWorker threads. I hoped I'd be

Any thoughts on how to name a backgroundworker thread?

What happens here?
The backgroundworker (bgw) unzips RTF-Helpfiles (up to 1 MB in size).
The ProgressChanged-Event gets the unzipped files (to display them in a
RichtTextBox)
It follows the Trace that prints always what bgw has unzipped and what
ProgressChanged received:
1. bgw: HelpFilelistgzip
2. ProgressChanged: HelpFilelistgzip OK!

I'm completely new to using background threading, though I have
downloaded and run through several samples and understood how they
worked.
My question is:
I have an app whose primary form will almost always lead to the user
opening a certain child window that's fairly resource intensive to
load. Is it possible to load this form in a backgroundworker and then
use the Show method and hide method as necessary? Anyone know of
