Re: Show progress timer while databinding

David Smith wrote:
I have an app that shows the time it takes to execute a search, much
like SQL Management Studio, but the app behaves as though the
System.Windows.Forms.Timer gets blocked while binding the results to
the grid. As you might expect, I execute the search in the background
but I have to return to the UI thread to bind the results. While
databinding, it appears as though the Timer.Tick event never gets
fired, so my timer freezes at the time before the databinding, which
could be the longest running part of the search.

Is my supposition that the databinding blocks the Timer correct? Is
this where I should use System.Threading.Timer instead? Thanks.

You could start a new UI thread and show your progress bar there.
