I write a lot of Client side WinForm programs to analyze wireless network test results, from 100MB log files and MySQL databases.  I wanted to be able to run some background tasks that can take 10+ minutes to complete.

Using Google, I found a few programs that used the Backgroundworker (in .Net 2.0).  Although all the examples I found were overly complicated and hard to follow; so I decided to write a very simple program in VB.Net 2005 that showed how to use all the features of the Backgroundworker.
