If in Handl

Answer 1

Can you not wait on the signal in the destructor of the form?

AutoResetEvent workerDone = new AutoResetEvent();

private void HandleClosingEvent(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
    this.bgWorker.CancelAsync();
}

private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
    while (!this.bgWorker.CancellationPending) {
        Invoke((Action) (() => { this.textBox1.Text =   
                                 Environment.TickCount.ToString(); }));
    }
}


private ~Form1()
{
    workerDone.WaitOne();
}


void backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted( Object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e )
{
    workerDone.Set();
}
