方法 : バックグラウンドで操作を実行する

完了するまでに時間がかかる操作があり、ユーザー インターフェイスが遅くならないようにする場合は、BackgroundWorker クラスを使用して別のスレッドで操作を実行できます。

時間のかかる操作をバックグラウンドで実行する方法を次のコード例に示します。 フォームには [開始] ボタンと [キャンセル] ボタンがあります。 非同期の操作を実行するには、[開始] をクリックします。 非同期の操作を停止するには、[キャンセル] をクリックします。 各操作の結果は、MessageBox に表示されます。

Visual Studio では、このタスクに対する広範なサポートが用意されています。
