Hi,
before calling the expensive operation you can set up the cursor via this code:
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;

after the operation ends, set it back:
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;

Regards

Unsafe! (I voted 4). What if exception is thrown (a known problem)?
Please see my safe solution.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DialogResult dr = MessageBox.Show("Use of wait cursor", "Top", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel);


if (dr==DialogResult.OK)
{
Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;

for (int i = 0; i < 1000000000; i++)
{


}

Cursor = Cursors.Default;
}




}
