Hi Experts <br />
VB.Net 4<br />
I have a queue to which I am adding +- 5000 strings on a separate thread<br />
To Speed things up, while these strings are being added, I am taking the strings from the queue and adding them to a textbox, fired from a timer on the main thread.<br />
<br />
If I use -<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; If SelectedFilesQueue.Count &lt;&gt;&nbsp;0 Then<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; TextBox1.AppendText(Select<wbr />edFilesQue<wbr />ue.Dequeue<wbr />.ToString &amp;&nbsp;vbCrLf)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; End if <br />
It works well but is VERY slow to complete<br />
<br />
If I use -<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; While SelectedFilesQueue.Count &lt;&gt;&nbsp;0<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; TextBox1.AppendText(Select<wbr />edFilesQue<wbr />ue.Dequeue<wbr />.ToString &amp;&nbsp;vbCrLf)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; End While<br />
This is fast, takes a quarter of the time, but it freezes my GUI.<br />
<br />
If I try and add the second example to a separate thread, &nbsp;I still have the problem of updating the GUI from that thread<br />
Anyone know how to keep the speed but stop the GUI from freezing? <br />
Thanks in advance

VB,Net, fast updating on textbox

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

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.
