Alternative to BackgroundWorker that accepts more than one argument?
You could use a closure (Lambda):
backgroundWorker.DoWork += (s, e) => MyWorkMethod(userName, targetNumber);Or with delegate (anonymous method) syntax:
backgroundWorker.DoWork += delegate(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e) { MyWorkMethod(userName, targetNumber); };
What's wrong with using a typed object?
internal class UserArgs{ internal string UserName { get; set; } internal string TargetNumber { get; set; }}var args = new UserArgs() {UserName="Me", TargetNumber="123" };startCallWorker.RunWorkerAsync(args);
instead of a typed object. C# 4.0 provides us with tuple. We could use a tuple to hold multiple args. Then there is no need to declare a new class.
