Remarks
The BackgroundWorker class allows you to run an operation on a separate, dedicated thread. 
Time-consuming operations like downloads and database transactions can cause your user interface (UI) to seem as though it has stopped responding while they are running. 
When you want a responsive UI and you are faced with long delays associated with such operations, the BackgroundWorker class provides a convenient solution.

To execute a time-consuming operation in the background, create a BackgroundWorker and listen for events that report the progress of your operation and signal when your operation is finished. 
You can create the BackgroundWorker programmatically or you can drag it onto your form from the Components tab of the Toolbox. 
If you create the BackgroundWorker in the Windows Forms Designer, it will appear in the Component Tray, and its properties will be displayed in the Properties window.

To set up for a background operation, add an event handler for the DoWork event. 
Call your time-consuming operation in this event handler. 
To start the operation, call RunWorkerAsync. 
To receive notifications of progress updates, handle the ProgressChanged event. 
To receive a notification when the operation is completed, handle the RunWorkerCompleted event.

 Note

You must be careful not to manipulate any user-interface objects in your DoWork event handler. 
Instead, communicate to the user interface through the ProgressChanged and RunWorkerCompleted events.

BackgroundWorker events are not marshaled across AppDomain boundaries. 
Do not use a BackgroundWorker component to perform multithreaded operations in more than one AppDomain.

If your background operation requires a parameter, call RunWorkerAsync with your parameter. 
Inside the DoWork event handler, you can extract the parameter from the DoWorkEventArgs.Argument property.
