Why the "RunWorkerCompleted" never comes after pressing ENTER?

using System;
using System.ComponentModel ;

using System.Reflection;


namespace Retriever
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
BackgroundWorker bw = new BackgroundWorker();
bw.WorkerSupportsCancellation = true;


bw.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(bw_DoWork);
bw.RunWorkerCompleted += new
RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(bw_RunWorkerCompleted);
bw.RunWorkerAsync();
Console.WriteLine("Press ENTER to exit...");
Console.ReadLine();
bw.CancelAsync();
Thread.Sleep(5000);
}

static void bw_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender,
RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Cancelled )
cls.Suspend ();
}

static void bw_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++){ Thread.Sleep(1000); Console.WriteLine(i);
if (e.Cancel){e.Result = "done"; return ;}} }
}
}


If to hit Enter after running, the bw_RunWorkerCompleted() will be never
invoked. Why?

Where is cls (in bw_RunWorkerCompleted()) declared? The code won't
compile for me.

invoked. Why?

Because your DoWork event handler never knows that you have tried to
cancel the worker.

The DoWorkEventArgs.Cancel property is for writing, not reading. You need
to check the CancellationPending property of the BackgroundWorker to see
if you should cancel. If you find it set to "true", then _your_ code
should set the DoWorkEventArgs.Cancel property so that the client can tell
that the worker was in fact cancelled.

See below for a fixed version of your code example that works as you would
expect.
