Hi
I have a dll which users run to prepare an extract file from a database.
When they have entered the form data and run the extract, I then want to do
some database updates which take a few minutes. I don't want the user to
have to wait, but instead be returned to the form, where they can do another
extract or leave the program.
So what I want to do, is kick off a background task, which will do the
database updates, passing in the necessary parameters. This could be a
hidden task, or one that appears on the task bar, just as long as the user
has control back to get on with another extract run in the same program.
I've made a new dll and done a call to it, to do the database updates, but
control is taken away while the called dll runs. How do I stop this
happening and make it a separate process? Must I use an exe, or is it a
switch on the dll? Do I have to use multi-threading?
Any ideas appreciated.
Cheers
