Almost every application has one or more long-running processes. Typically these are things like importing, export and reporting. Waiting for the processes to complete can be tedious for your users. There are techniques you can use to make this less painful. When designing a long running process, there are two concepts to keep in mind. First, your user interface should always be active and responsive. In other words, the user interface should always re-draw itself. Second, you should endeavor to show the progress to the user as your process executes. Keep the user updated and he'll be more patient. However, writing your code to do these two things well can be rather tricky. This article will illustrate common ways to do both.
