If you want to create a responsive UI, you should never write code like while (true) {...} because thus you get the main thread busy. Here you really should use BackgroundWorker. Don’t forget to set its WorkerSupportsCancellation property before you start worker thread via RunWorkerAsync(). There is a nice how-to.
