Multithreading in Windows Forms Controls
In many applications, you can make your user interface (UI) more responsive by performing time-consuming operations on another thread. A number of tools are available for multithreading your Windows Forms controls, including the xref:System.Threading namespace, the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.BeginInvoke%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType method, and the BackgroundWorker component.
Note
The
BackgroundWorkercomponent replaces and adds functionality to the xref:System.Threading namespace and the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.BeginInvoke%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType method; however, these are retained for both backward compatibility and future use, if you choose. For more information, see BackgroundWorker Component Overview.
