Making a smooth Application

hey all,

I've always wondered, how do i make i VB .net application/tool (any sort of) like a professional one, for eg. if my tool is doing some task when i click a button which takes say 1-2 mins. , then during that phase my app should not look like it's hung (plain white window) if you know what i mean . All i'm asking is the logic for keeping my front end viewable & refreshed (possibly wit ha progressbar) while something carried out in background which takes couple of mins. Anyone ? :confused:

You must look into the documentation of BackGroundWorker or Threads
