App needs to go to multiple sites at once...should I use background worker?

[Samantha]

I've been searching on and off today and for the life of me I can't figure this one out.

I have an app that is needs to access multiple web sites and sign up for accounts.

I don't want to run them one by one as this would be slow as christmas so I figured that I could setup some sort of background worker and put each process on it's own thread that way the app could run each sign up page at the same time.

Would using background worker be the "BEST" option to use for this type of application requirement?

Thanks

VB6 doesn't support true threading. However, this can be easily achieved just arraying Winsock or some other control/library to handle your requests/processing. You can coordinate the pseudo-asynchronous nature of the array with an arrayed timer.
