下面的代码示例演示如何使用 BackgroundWorker 组件从 URL 加载 XML 文件。用户单击“下载”按钮时，Click 事件处理程序将调用 BackgroundWorker 组件的 RunWorkerAsync 方法来启动下载操作。在下载过程中，将禁用该按钮，然后在下载完成后再启用该按钮。MessageBox 将显示文件的内容。

文件下载在 BackgroundWorker 组件的辅助线程上进行，该线程运行 DoWork 事件处理程序。当代码调用 RunWorkerAsync 方法时，将启动此线程。
dowloadButton_Click 事件处理程序演示如何等待 BackgroundWorker 组件完成它的异步任务。使用 IsBusy 属性可以确定 BackgroundWorker 线程是否仍在运行。如果代码在主 UI 线程上（对于 Click 事件处理程序即是如此），请务必调用 Application.DoEvents 方法以使用户界面能够响应用户操作。
backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted 方法将处理 RunWorkerCompleted 事件，并在后台操作完成后被调用。它首先检查 AsyncCompletedEventArgs.Error 属性，如果该属性是 null，它将显示文件内容。
