Question

Rerunning DoWork on Background Worker Based on Result?

Answer 1

+2 A:

Can't you restart your BackgroundWorker after testing e.Result in your backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted event?

I'm starting it off using backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsnc(); in the Form1() initiation. If I want to restart it as you posted, what code do I use and do I just put it in my backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted?

@Soo - use backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync(); as Darin suggests. I assume this is how you started the background worker in the first place?

Works great!Now a quick little question, should I put the first RunWorkerAsync in Form1() or Form1_Load()?

Soo 2010-05-28 19:56:06

I'd put it in Form1_Load.

Jay Riggs 2010-05-28 19:58:53

Soo, either Form1() and Form1_Load() is ok.

@Lex Li - I beleive so. If you need to reference a control and you want to use Form1(), be sure to do so after the call to InitialiseComponent(). Before then the form's controls don't exist.

Answer 2

+2 A:

The same way you are doing it the first time - by invoking the RunWorkerAsync method:

backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync();

Make sure the invocation is conditioned or this loop may run forever :-)
