Proper way to Dispose of a BackGroundWorker

Question

Would this be a proper way to dispose of a BackGroundWorker? I\'m not sure if it is necesary to remove the events before calling .Dispose(). Also is calling .Dispose() ins

Answer 1

If it's on a "WinForms" Form let the container take care of it (see the generated Dispose code in the Form.Designer.xyz file)

In practice I have found that you may need to create an instance of the container and add the worker (or other companent) to it, if anyone knows a more official way to do this yell out!!

PK :-)

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        // watch the disposed event....
        backgroundWorker1.Disposed += new EventHandler(backgroundWorker1_Disposed);

        // try with and without the following lines
        components = new Container();
        components.Add(backgroundWorker1);
    }

    void backgroundWorker1_Disposed(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine("backgroundWorker1_Disposed");
    }

//... from the Designer.xyz file ...

    /// 

    /// Clean up any resources being used.
    /// 
    /// true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.
    protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
        if (disposing && (components != null))
        {
            components.Dispose();
        }
        base.Dispose(disposing);
    }

}
