You can use BackgroundWorker and report progress. Here's the MSDN sample. <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ka89zff4.aspx" rel="ugc">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ka89zff4.aspx</a>

Hi,<br />
<br />
I was wondering if someone can help. I am creating an application and require a database extract to be done for the user as well as a status bar to move to inform the user of the progress made. The problem is that the screen locks up when this is started and the user is unable to do anything else. I have had a look at possibly using threads as well as something called background process which seems like this could work. The only problem is if i create a thread etc i need to pass a count between this and the user interface. Can someone recommend the best way to keep these in sync.<br />
<br />
Thanks <br />

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
