I have a form that has many long-methods. My quest is: What is the best practice? Use anonymous method and only one backgroundworker or create an instance of BackgroundWorker to each long-method.
Please help. Thanks.

I would personnaly use one instance of BackgroundWorker for each of your tasks. However, keep in mind that you may call several times the same delegate method in multiple different instances of thread.
By having one BackgroundWorker per long-method task, you will have plenty control over your methods. Furthermore, as far as my understanding goes, once an instance of a BackgroundWorker performs a task, it is busy with this background task and therefore making it unavailable for others. I may perhaps be mistaken though, but that is anyway the way I would do it, as your DoWork() event handler can do only what it is asked to do for this BackgroundWorker. So, it seems impossible to me to perform totally different tasks for only one instance of BackgroundWorker.
Does this help?
