You also can use execute System.Windows.Forms.Appli<wbr />cation.DoE<wbr />vents(); from time to time:<br />

<br />
or use Thread.Sleep(miliseconds) to give it time to respond (DoEvents is better I think):<br />

DoEvents won't let you take advantage of multiple cores or multiple CPUs, though.... this can only be done by having additional threads spun up.

I have a function that selects photos, &nbsp;resizes them and then adds them to a flowlayoutpanel.<br />
I also have a progressbar to let the user know how long it is going to take.<br />
<br />
It works great when only selecting a few photos. but i tested it with 80 1meg photos...the application turns white and the titlebar say Not responding. After the load/resize is done. The application returns. <br />
<br />
How can i prevent this?

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Visual Basic.NET

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).
