Question

The LoadIt() method below takes 5-10 seconds to complete. I want the message area to display ‘Loading…’ before LoadIt() starts and display ‘Reloaded’ after it finishes.

How can I do that?

The following code doesn’t work. It seems to not update the label until everything is finished, at which point it just displays ‘Reloaded’ again.

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {     lblMessage.Text = 'Loading...';     LoadIt();     lblMessage.Text = 'Reloaded'; }
