WPF Multithreading: Using the BackgroundWorker and Reporting the Progress to the UI.

July 3rd, 2009

I can’t count the number of times someone has asked me about running a time consuming task on a separate thread, but at the same time show a progress dialog with up-to-the-second percentage updates being displayed to the user.
