演练:在后台运行操作

如果某项操作需要很长时间才能完成,而你不希望造成用户界面的延迟,则可以使用 BackgroundWorker 类在另一个线程上运行此操作。

有关此示例中使用的代码的完整列表,请参阅如何:在后台运行操作

在后台运行操作

  1. 当窗体在 Visual Studio 中的 Windows 窗体设计器中处于活动状态时,将两个 Button 控件从“工具箱”拖动到窗体中,然后根据下表设置按钮的 NameText 属性

    Button 名称 文本
    button1 startBtn 开始
    button2 cancelBtn Cancel
  2. 打开“工具箱”,单击“组件”选项卡,然后将 BackgroundWorker 组件拖动到窗体上

    backgroundWorker1 组件显示在“组件栏”中

  3. 在“属性” 窗口中,将 WorkerSupportsCancellation 属性设置为 true

  4. 在“属性”窗口中,单击“事件”按钮,然后双击 DoWorkRunWorkerCompleted 事件以创建事件处理程序

  5. 将耗时的代码插入 DoWork 事件处理程序。

  6. 从参数 DoWorkEventArgsArgument 属性中提取操作所需的任何参数。

  7. 将计算结果分配给 DoWorkEventArgsResult 属性。

    此结果将可供 RunWorkerCompleted 事件处理程序使用。

    private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
    {
        // Do not access the form's BackgroundWorker reference directly.
        // Instead, use the reference provided by the sender parameter.
        BackgroundWorker bw = sender as BackgroundWorker;
    
        // Extract the argument.
        int arg = (int)e.Argument;
    
        // Start the time-consuming operation.
        e.Result = TimeConsumingOperation(bw, arg);
    
        // If the operation was canceled by the user,
        // set the DoWorkEventArgs.Cancel property to true.
        if (bw.CancellationPending)
        {
            e.Cancel = true;
        }
    }
    
    Private Sub backgroundWorker1_DoWork( _
    sender As Object, e As DoWorkEventArgs) _
    Handles backgroundWorker1.DoWork
    
       ' Do not access the form's BackgroundWorker reference directly.
       ' Instead, use the reference provided by the sender parameter.
       Dim bw As BackgroundWorker = CType( sender, BackgroundWorker )
       
       ' Extract the argument.
       Dim arg As Integer = Fix(e.Argument)
       
       ' Start the time-consuming operation.
       e.Result = TimeConsumingOperation(bw, arg)
       
       ' If the operation was canceled by the user, 
       ' set the DoWorkEventArgs.Cancel property to true.
       If bw.CancellationPending Then
          e.Cancel = True
       End If
    
    End Sub   
    
  8. RunWorkerCompleted 事件处理程序中插入用于检索操作结果的代码。

    // This event handler demonstrates how to interpret
    // the outcome of the asynchronous operation implemented
    // in the DoWork event handler.
    private void backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(
        object sender,
        RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Cancelled)
        {
            // The user canceled the operation.
            MessageBox.Show("Operation was canceled");
        }
        else if (e.Error != null)
        {
            // There was an error during the operation.
            string msg = String.Format("An error occurred: {0}", e.Error.Message);
            MessageBox.Show(msg);
        }
        else
        {
            // The operation completed normally.
            string msg = String.Format("Result = {0}", e.Result);
            MessageBox.Show(msg);
        }
    }
    
    ' This event handler demonstrates how to interpret 
    ' the outcome of the asynchronous operation implemented
    ' in the DoWork event handler.
    Private Sub backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted( _
    sender As Object, e As RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs) _
    Handles backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerCompleted
    
       If e.Cancelled Then
          ' The user canceled the operation.
          MessageBox.Show("Operation was canceled")
       ElseIf (e.Error IsNot Nothing) Then
          ' There was an error during the operation.
          Dim msg As String = String.Format("An error occurred: {0}", e.Error.Message)
          MessageBox.Show(msg)
       Else
          ' The operation completed normally.
          Dim msg As String = String.Format("Result = {0}", e.Result)
          MessageBox.Show(msg)
       End If
    End Sub   
    
  9. 实现 TimeConsumingOperation 方法。

    // This method models an operation that may take a long time
    // to run. It can be cancelled, it can raise an exception,
    // or it can exit normally and return a result. These outcomes
    // are chosen randomly.
    private int TimeConsumingOperation(
        BackgroundWorker bw,
        int sleepPeriod )
    {
        int result = 0;
    
        Random rand = new Random();
    
        while (!bw.CancellationPending)
        {
            bool exit = false;
    
            switch (rand.Next(3))
            {
                // Raise an exception.
                case 0:
                {
                    throw new Exception("An error condition occurred.");
                    break;
                }
    
                // Sleep for the number of milliseconds
                // specified by the sleepPeriod parameter.
                case 1:
                {
                    Thread.Sleep(sleepPeriod);
                    break;
                }
    
                // Exit and return normally.
                case 2:
                {
                    result = 23;
                    exit = true;
                    break;
                }
    
                default:
                {
                    break;
                }
            }
    
            if( exit )
            {
                break;
            }
        }
    
        return result;
    }
    
    ' This method models an operation that may take a long time 
    ' to run. It can be cancelled, it can raise an exception,
    ' or it can exit normally and return a result. These outcomes
    ' are chosen randomly.
    Private Function TimeConsumingOperation( _
    bw As BackgroundWorker, _
    sleepPeriod As Integer) As Integer
    
       Dim result As Integer = 0
       
       Dim rand As New Random()
       
         While Not bw.CancellationPending
             Dim [exit] As Boolean = False
    
             Select Case rand.Next(3)
                 ' Raise an exception.
                 Case 0
                     Throw New Exception("An error condition occurred.")
                     Exit While
    
                     ' Sleep for the number of milliseconds
                     ' specified by the sleepPeriod parameter.
                 Case 1
                     Thread.Sleep(sleepPeriod)
                     Exit While
    
                     ' Exit and return normally.
                 Case 2
                     result = 23
                     [exit] = True
                     Exit While
    
                 Case Else
                     Exit While
             End Select
    
             If [exit] Then
                 Exit While
             End If
         End While
       
       Return result
    End Function
    
  10. 在 Windows 窗体设计器中,双击 startButton 以创建 Click 事件处理程序。

  11. 调用 startButtonClick 事件处理程序中的 RunWorkerAsync 方法。

    private void startBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync(2000);
    }
    
    Private Sub startButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles startBtn.Click
        Me.backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync(2000)
    End Sub
    
  12. 在 Windows 窗体设计器中,双击 cancelButton 以创建 Click 事件处理程序。

  13. 调用 cancelButtonClick 事件处理程序中的 CancelAsync 方法。

    private void cancelBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.backgroundWorker1.CancelAsync();
    }
    
    Private Sub cancelButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles cancelBtn.Click
        Me.backgroundWorker1.CancelAsync()
    End Sub
    
  14. 在文件的顶部,导入 System.ComponentModel 和 System.Threading 命名空间。

    using System;
    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.Threading;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    
    Imports System.ComponentModel
    Imports System.Drawing
    Imports System.Threading
    Imports System.Windows.Forms
    
  15. 按 F6 生成解决方案,然后按 Ctrl+F5 在调试程序外部运行应用程序

    注意

    如果按 F5 在调试程序下运行应用程序,则调试程序将捕获并显示 TimeConsumingOperation 方法中引发的异常。 在调试程序外部运行应用程序时,BackgroundWorker 将处理异常并将其缓存到 RunWorkerCompletedEventArgsError 属性中。

  16. 单击“启动”按钮以运行异步操作,然后单击“取消”按钮以停止正在运行的异步操作

    每个操作的结果显示在 MessageBox 中。
