Hello,

In my app, I read/parse data that takes some time. While that process is going on I want to display a message on screen indicating the process going on. I beileve I got to use Thread for it, but don't get an idea how to use and implement it.The calling method may throw exception or so.

Any idea/tip on how to achieve the task. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

You might want to look at Background worker[^] for this purpose.

I had a look at the BackgroundWorker. My requirement is I don't want any progress bar or so. Only a kind of Modal dialog with text like "Connecting" or "Retrieving..." while a method is executing. Once the method is executed, the dialog goes away. That's it. Modal dialog because, user know somethign is going on and he can't access any other form resources.

I added backgroundWorker on my form, but didn't get an idea of how to display a dialog with message and call the method and show the dialog till its done.

Can any body guide me for hte above.

Thanks
