How to "kill" background worker completely?
- by Ken Hung
Hi All,
I am writing a windows application that runs a sequence of digital IO actions repeatedly.
This sequence of actions starts when the user click a "START" button, and it is done by a background worker in backgroundWorker1_DoWork().
However, there are occasions when I get the "This backgroundworker is currently busy......." error message.
I am thinking of implementing the following in the code, by using a while loop to "kill" the background worker before starting another sequence of action:
if (backgroundWorker1.IsBusy == true)
{
backgroundWorker1.CancelAsync();
while (backgroundWorker1.IsBusy == true)
{
backgroundWorker1.CancelAsync();
}
backgroundWorker1.Dispose();
}
backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync();
I think my main concern is, will the backgroundWorker1 be "killed" eventually? If it will, will it take a long time to complete it?
Will this coding get me into an infinite loop?
