giving info on form while doing process long time

[Manikandan]

Hi,
My application is processing a database(selecting data using execute
reader)
It takes much time.
I want to show user the application is running, showing some
information in the form
I tried with thread, timer, but not helpful
any simple idea to show user application is not frozen

Thanks,
Mani

Hello.
Take a look at the BackgroundWorker control. I think that's exactly what you
are searching for.

Hi,
My application uses .NET framework 1.1 only but backgroundworker is
in .NET2.0

ok, it's a little bit harder without backgroundworker, because you have to do
the threading-things on your own.

look at this article:
http://www.code-magazine.com/article.aspx?quickid=0403071&page=1

i didn't reasearch in detail now, but you can search for it on your own when
you search for "asynchronous programming"...
you have to use methods like BeginInvoke(), EndInvoke() and so on.

i hope this was helpful.

Some people ported the backgroundworker back to .NET 1.1.
