Procedimiento para usar un subproceso en segundo plano para buscar archivos
El componente BackgroundWorker reemplaza al espacio de nombres System.Threading y agrega funcionalidad; sin embargo, el espacio de nombres System.Threading se conserva por razones de compatibilidad con versiones anteriores y uso en el futuro, si así lo decide. Para obtener más información, vea Información general sobre el componente BackgroundWorker.
Windows Forms usa el modelo de contenedor uniproceso (STA) porque Windows Forms se basa en ventanas de Win32 nativas, que son intrínsecamente de subproceso de apartamento. El modelo STA conlleva que se puede crear una ventana en cualquier subproceso, pero no se puede cambiar de un subproceso a otro una vez creados, y todas las llamadas de función que se realicen deben producirse en su correspondiente subproceso de creación. Fuera de Windows Forms, las clases de .NET Framework usan el modelo de subprocesos libre. Para obtener información sobre los subprocesos en .NET Framework, vea Subprocesos.
El modelo STA requiere que los métodos de un control al que debe llamarse desde fuera del subproceso de creación del control deben serializarse (ejecutarse) el subproceso de creación del control. La clase base Control proporciona varios métodos (Invoke, BeginInvoke y EndInvoke) para este fin. Invoke realiza llamadas de método sincrónicas, mientras que BeginInvoke realiza llamadas de método asincrónicas.
Si usa multithreading en el control para realizar tareas que consumen muchos recursos, la interfaz de usuario puede seguir respondiendo mientras se ejecuta un cálculo de recursos intensivo en un subproceso en segundo plano.
En el ejemplo siguiente (DirectorySearcher), se muestra un control de Windows Forms multiproceso que usa un subproceso en segundo plano para buscar de forma recursiva en un directorio archivos que coincidan con una cadena de búsqueda especificada y, a continuación, rellena un cuadro de lista con el resultado de la búsqueda. Los conceptos clave ilustrados en el ejemplo son los siguientes:
DirectorySearcherinicia un nuevo subproceso para realizar la búsqueda. El subproceso ejecuta el métodoThreadProcedure, que a su vez llama al método auxiliarRecurseDirectorypara realizar la búsqueda real y rellenar el cuadro de lista. Pero rellenar el cuadro de lista requiere una llamada entre subprocesos, como se explica en los dos puntos siguientes.DirectorySearcherdefine el métodoAddFilespara agregar archivos a un cuadro de lista, peroRecurseDirectoryno puede invocar directamente aAddFilesAddFilesporque solo se puede ejecutar en el subproceso de STA que creóDirectorySearcher.La única manera de que
RecurseDirectorypueda llamar aAddFileses a través de una llamada entre subprocesos; es decir, llamando a Invoke o a BeginInvoke para serializarAddFilesal subproceso de creación deDirectorySearcher.RecurseDirectoryusa BeginInvoke para que la llamada se pueda realizar de forma asincrónica.La serialización de un método requiere el equivalente a un puntero de función o una devolución de llamada. Esto se logra usando delegados en .NET Framework. BeginInvoke toma un delegado como argumento. Por lo tanto,
DirectorySearcherdefine un delegado (FileListDelegate), enlazaAddFilesa una instancia deFileListDelegateen su constructor y pasa esta instancia de delegado a BeginInvoke.DirectorySearchertambién define un delegado de evento que se serializa cuando la búsqueda finaliza.
