Hi,
I'm making a middle level application for a firm in C#.NET (2.0) with MySql 5.0 as DB.
The main problem i'm facing is the latency in loading the GUI window.
The GUI window is full of Controls about 30 components. About half of them are data binding controls. So, when the window loads, the user suffers the latency of 5 seconds. All I'm thinking right now is to implement multithreading. The first thread is for loading the data binding and second one is to show the UI; but i'm in vein. Because, the thread in which i do the databinding don't allow me to access the GUI component coz the components were created in another thread. Please help me in this scenario asap.
Thanx in advance!

You can launch a thread on the GUI thread from another thread with InvokeRequired and Invoke. That's if you are using Windows Forms. If you are using WPF, you can do the same thing with the Dispatcher.
