Can backgroundworker create another upon request?

Apr 6 2017 12:08 PM
I keep getting errors when running my app. It keep telling me Im trying to run mutli backgroundworkers at the same time. It seems like the IsBusy is not working. Im basically using the backgroundworker to copy files from A to B over a network. Im using FileSystemWatcher to trigger the function of the start of  the backgroundworker.
