Практическое руководство. Фоновая загрузка файла

Загрузка файла — это обычная задача, и было бы разумным запускать эту потенциально длительную операцию в отдельном потоке. С помощью компонента BackgroundWorker и небольшого фрагмента кода эта задача легко решается.

Пример

В примере кода ниже демонстрируется использование компонента BackgroundWorker для загрузки XML-файла с URL-адреса. Когда пользователь нажимает кнопку Загрузить, обработчик событий Click вызывает метод RunWorkerAsync компонента BackgroundWorker для запуска операции загрузки. Кнопка отключается во время загрузки, а по его окончании снова становится активной. В поле MessageBox выводится содержимое файла.

Загрузка файла

Файл скачивается в рабочем потоке компонента BackgroundWorker, который запускает обработчик событий DoWork. Этот поток запускается, когда код вызывает метод RunWorkerAsync.

private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(
    object sender,
    DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
    document = new XmlDocument();

    // Uncomment the following line to
    // simulate a noticeable latency.

    // Replace this file name with a valid file name.
    document.Load(@"http://www.tailspintoys.com/sample.xml");
}
Private Sub backgroundWorker1_DoWork( _
    ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As DoWorkEventArgs) _
    Handles backgroundWorker1.DoWork

    document = New XmlDocument()

    ' Replace this file name with a valid file name.
    document.Load("http://www.tailspintoys.com/sample.xml")

    ' Uncomment the following line to
    ' simulate a noticeable latency.
    'Thread.Sleep(5000);
End Sub

Ожидание завершения работы BackgroundWorker

Обработчик событий downloadButton_Click демонстрирует ожидание завершения выполнения асинхронной задачи компонентом BackgroundWorker.

Если нужно, чтобы приложение лишь реагировало на события и не выполняло никакой работы в основном потоке в ожидании, пока не завершится выполнение фонового потока, просто завершите работу обработчика.

Если нужно продолжить выполнение работы в основном потоке, воспользуйтесь свойством IsBusy, чтобы определить, по-прежнему ли выполняется поток BackgroundWorker. В примере индикатор выполнения обновляется в процессе загрузки. Для сохранения отклика пользовательского интерфейса обязательно вызовите метод Application.DoEvents.

private void downloadButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Start the download operation in the background.
    this.backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync();

    // Disable the button for the duration of the download.
    this.downloadButton.Enabled = false;

    // Once you have started the background thread you
    // can exit the handler and the application will
    // wait until the RunWorkerCompleted event is raised.

    // Or if you want to do something else in the main thread,
    // such as update a progress bar, you can do so in a loop
    // while checking IsBusy to see if the background task is
    // still running.

    while (this.backgroundWorker1.IsBusy)
    {
        progressBar1.Increment(1);
        // Keep UI messages moving, so the form remains
        // responsive during the asynchronous operation.
        Application.DoEvents();
    }
}
Private Sub downloadButton_Click( _
    ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As EventArgs) _
    Handles downloadButton.Click

    ' Start the download operation in the background.
    Me.backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync()

    ' Disable the button for the duration of the download.
    Me.downloadButton.Enabled = False

    ' Once you have started the background thread you 
    ' can exit the handler and the application will 
    ' wait until the RunWorkerCompleted event is raised.

    ' If you want to do something else in the main thread,
    ' such as update a progress bar, you can do so in a loop 
    ' while checking IsBusy to see if the background task is
    ' still running.
    While Me.backgroundWorker1.IsBusy
        progressBar1.Increment(1)
        ' Keep UI messages moving, so the form remains 
        ' responsive during the asynchronous operation.
        Application.DoEvents()
    End While
End Sub

Вывод результата

Метод backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted обрабатывает событие RunWorkerCompleted и вызывается по завершении фоновой операции. Сначала этот метод проверяет свойство AsyncCompletedEventArgs.Error. Если свойство AsyncCompletedEventArgs.Error имеет значение null, то метод выводит содержимое файла. Затем он активирует кнопку загрузки, которая была отключена, когда началась загрузка, и сбрасывает индикатор выполнения.

private void backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(
    object sender,
    RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    // Set progress bar to 100% in case it's not already there.
    progressBar1.Value = 100;

    if (e.Error == null)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(document.InnerXml, "Download Complete");
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show(
            "Failed to download file",
            "Download failed",
            MessageBoxButtons.OK,
            MessageBoxIcon.Error);
    }

    // Enable the download button and reset the progress bar.
    this.downloadButton.Enabled = true;
    progressBar1.Value = 0;
}
Private Sub backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted( _
    ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs) _
    Handles backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerCompleted

    ' Set progress bar to 100% in case it isn't already there.
    progressBar1.Value = 100

    If e.Error Is Nothing Then
        MessageBox.Show(document.InnerXml, "Download Complete")
    Else
        MessageBox.Show("Failed to download file", "Download failed", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
    End If

    ' Enable the download button and reset the progress bar.
    Me.downloadButton.Enabled = True
    progressBar1.Value = 0
End Sub

Для этого примера требуются:

  • ссылки на сборки System.Drawing, System.Windows.Forms и System.Xml.

Отказоустойчивость

Перед попыткой обращения к свойству RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs.Result или любому другому объекту, который может быть изменен обработчиком событий DoWork, всегда проверяйте свойство AsyncCompletedEventArgs.Error в обработчике событий RunWorkerCompleted.
