Is it possible to kill the BackgroundWorker's thread?

Question

Is it possible \"kill\" the thread of a BackgroundWorker?

In my DoWork event, I can\'t check the cancellation flag, because I have a blocki

Answer 1

No, you can't kill the BackgroundWorker thread, you can only try to cancel it as you noticed, but it requires some interaction from the background thread itself to stop the work: "The worker code should periodically check the CancellationPending property to see if it has been set to true." (c) MSDN

If you need full control over a thread, you will have to create it by yourself using Thread class.
