If it is taking lots of time throw it on the treeview then you can use a lable placed just above the treeview and change its text accordingly..<br />
<br />
label1.Text = &quot;Loading data...Please wait&quot;<br />
&nbsp;object[] nodes = GetAWholeBunchOfNodes();<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;treeView1.Nodes.Clear();<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;foreach( object node in nodes )<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;{<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; treeView1.Nodes.Add(node);<wbr /><br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;}<br />
label1.Text =&quot;&quot;;<br />

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
