Solution 2

You don't really "put" a function into a thread. You can call a function from a thread (and the function executes on that thread). With the BackgroundWorker you'd need to call this from the DoWork event handler.

Just add a call to your Zip method in the DoWork event handler.

It is not good idea to have long running background threads in ASP.NET in case of recycling. If I remember correctly, this can be confirmed in this article:

Another point which I noticed, what are you doing with console is ASP.Net Application

Console.WriteLine ?

Technically, you can use HttpContext outside of an ASP.NET application (if you wanted to).

Agree!

I agree in principle, but I have executed long running processes that don't need to provide response back to the front end application by pulling the values form the HttpContext and copying them to a "safe" object that then gets passed to the thread for processing.
