Question

I am building two applications that work on the same database. My problem is that i want to create an automatic update.

Details :

I have a farmacy and on the main form i am displaying some data (list of medicines for example).
I have another application that allows me to add/edit/delete drugs.

I want the first application to update from time to time (1-2 seconds).

I tried creating another thread in the main application and call it with a 2 seconds sleep, but it frezees the application and i don’t want that. I want the applications (both of them) to be functional and do a background update somehow.

Ideas ?

A BackgroundWorker would allow you to do this.
