Cancel function does not work with backgroundWorker?

Cancel function does not work this code below. Can someone tell me what is wrong with this code?

Code:

---

        private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
        {

Array.ForEach(originalFiles, (originalFileLocation) =>
                {
                    FileInfo originalFile = new FileInfo(originalFileLocation);
                    FileInfo destFile = new FileInfo(originalFileLocation.Replace(sourcePath, destPath));
                    if (backgroundWorker1.CancellationPending == true)
                    {
                        e.Cancel = true;
                        return;
                    }

                    if (destFile.Exists)
                    {
                      if (originalFile.Length != destFile.Length || originalFile.LastWriteTime != destFile.LastWriteTime)
                      {
                          originalFile.CopyTo(destFile.FullName, true);
                          count2++;
                          answer = count2 / count * 100;
                          answer = Math.Round(answer);
                          backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(Decimal.ToInt32(answer));
                          textFile = "Copying file " + destFile.FullName.ToString();
                          logFile.Add(textFile);
                            countLines++;
                      }
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(destFile.DirectoryName);
                        originalFile.CopyTo(destFile.FullName, false);
                        count2++;
                        answer = count2 / count * 100;
                        answer = Math.Round(answer);
                        backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(Decimal.ToInt32(answer));
                        textFile = "Copying file " + destFile.FullName.ToString();
                        logFile.Add(textFile);
                        countLines++;
                    }
                });
}

  private void buttonCancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            backgroundWorker1.WorkerSupportsCancellation = true;
            backgroundWorker1.CancelAsync();
            buttonCancel.Enabled = false;
        }

Move backgroundWorker1.WorkerSupportsCancellation = true; to before where you start the thread, not inside the cancel handler.

Also, the docs state not to reference the background worker object directly from inside the worker thread. Instead use the sender property and local variable.

from the docs... (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...orkdesktop-4.8)

// Do not access the form's BackgroundWorker reference directly.
// Instead, use the reference provided by the sender parameter.
BackgroundWorker bw = sender as BackgroundWorker;
