C# RFID阅读器中的多线程

Question

I've written a program which could connect to several RFID Reader and start to detect tags simultaneously. But because all of them are working on UI-Thread (Main Thread) my both UI and reading function become slower every time I add a new reader... I need to create a new thread for each reader and let that reader works with the new worker thread. But I don't know where have I import the new Thread() function in my c# program. I have a windows form timer for reading tags. I just changed my program to create a bgWorker for each reader. I removed my timer. I use a while loop for reading. but still every time I add a new reader and it starts to read tags despite it is working with a new working thread ID but the reading functionality of other readers become slower

Answer 1

Use Thread-Class instead of BgWorker and Invoke all UI-Access. Do the Invoke only when you access UI-Elements, do NOT invoke if you do rfid-reader operations. Do never use timers for this kind of work as you already unterstood. If you need more help, just contact me on contact form
