How can I bring my application window to the front?

Question

How to bring my application window to front? For example whan my app needs attention.

This is for my personal program. I need that functionality.

This is what I got. But it's NOT working 100% times.

public void BringToFrontToEnterCaptha()
{
    if (InvokeRequired)
    {
        Invoke(new Action(BringToFrontToEnterCaptha));
    }
    else
    {
        this.TopMost = true;
        this.Focus();
        this.BringToFront();
        this.textBox1.Focus();
        this.textBox1.Text = string.Empty;
        System.Media.SystemSounds.Beep.Play();
    }
}

public void BringToBackAfterEnterCaptha()
{
    if (InvokeRequired)
    {
        Invoke(new Action(BringToBackAfterEnterCaptha));
    }
    else
    {
        this.TopMost = false;
    }
}

And I call them from background worker.

BringToFrontToEnterCaptha();
while (!ready)
{
    Thread.Sleep(100);
}
BringToBackAfterEnterCaptha();
Thread.Sleep(300);

And after pressing "Accept" button bool ready is set to true.

I works great but not always.

Here is a piece of code that worked for me

this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
this.Show();
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;

It always brings the desired window to the front of all the others.
