I am developing an interface in my C# 4.0 winform application, to fire some sms in bulk. Each message content is different so that I have to fire messages one by one. I have a form from where the end user can shoot smss, it may be more than a thousand.

I want to manage a queue. If the user shoots a sms then it will be submitted to the queue and the queue will send sms one by one.

So I have to create a form to manage the queue. The problem is that I want my application to work normally and in the background the queue sends sms.

So how can I achieve this task? I have tried BackGroundWorker, but I don’t know how to maintain a separate thread with a form.

    All forms must be on the UI thread. The sending of the SMS should be performed by the BackgroundWorker.DoWork event. The updating of the form is then done by BackgroundWorker.RunWorkerCompleted event.

    The UI thread is main thread of the application for SWF (winforms)

    If you are using C# 4.0 or above, you may also want to investiage the Take Parallel Library (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd460717.aspx). But I would first get BackgroundWorker implementation to work. Then use TPL to send simultaneous SMS. Could really speed things up.
