When opening a form, I am loading data into a few combo boxes from an Oracle database.

I make a call to a class that load the data from the Form_Load event.

The form hangs and is not fully drawn until my data fetching is complete.

I used to have this problem in VB but I used the .Show method then, at the begining of the Form_Load event to show the form before getting data from the database which solved that.

I tried this in C# but it doesn't seem to work.

Any idea's on how I can show the form fully and have the data load whilst it is shown.
