I've got a Windows Service that runs BackgroundWorker's, and I'm wondering if I'm doing the right thing when I stop my Windows Service.

Is it enough to:

  1. Let the BackgroundWorker1_DoWork method complete (I have a while loop in it now, doing some tasks)
  2. Set the variable that holds the reference to the BackgroundWorker, to null

Is there some kind of Dispose() method I need to call (In the same way the Timer class has Timer.Dispose();)?
