I have some httpwebrequest code in my vb application which works great for
loading large files form my web server virtual directory. Since I need the
results of the web request before I can really proceed, I don't mind waiting
for the data to complete loading before continuing program operation. The
one thing that does bother me is the fact that my window is locked in place
for the duration of the download and any windows that move over it polute the
window. Is there a way to have my code wait for the data to complete loading
and still have the window responsive to drag commands and refresh itself if
another window passes over.
