    Progress Bar

    I am trying to read data from a database and then write it to a text file and performs various other tasks. The database can have anywhere from 5 to 100,000 records. I am looking to create a progress bar that somehow will be able to determine the amount of time it will take to complete these tasks. Any ideas are welcome because i am completly lost.

    You have a few options:

    1.)Use a "Marquee" type progress bar, which just goes back and forth, but has no real indication of where the progress is.
    2.)Do some work to determine the number of rows (i.e. a Select Count(field) From Table) you will be outputting and then incrementing the progress bar as you are doing your work.

    I heard that asynchronously programming is the way to do this, does anyone have an example of asynchronously programmming with a progress bar
