Updating of Winform UI every second

Hi, i have a UI which displays values (Around 40) and i have to update all the 40 values every second as there are chances..the values will be altered at any time. But creating a loop and updating the UI every sec..i figured out it will make the UI super unresponsive..or the UI won't even show up. I have tried using timers for such an app in vb6 and the result was an unresponsive UI. Are there any way i can create multiple threads to update my UI (i.e getting the threads to UI so that load can be shared instead of getting the main app thread to do it all) Some simple code sample would be best or links to resources and case studies regarding this. Thanks
