.NET Compact Fw 3.5: Background worker

Question

I want to use something similar to the BackgroundWorker on mobile devices. Sadly it is not available in the compact framework.

What can I use instead?

Answer 1

There is an MSDN site discussing the Background Processing Techniques on the CF.

The most common option is to use ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem instead of a BackgroundWorker, although there are other options.

Answer 2

There is implementation of BackgroundWorker for CF: http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog/2004/12/backgroundworker-sample.html

Answer 3
