Error Reporter freezing program

[bluejaguar456]

Hey All,

I am currently near the end of a piece of software built for a company. I have just come over one problem that i cant seem to get the answer too.

When my program come up with an error (like it cant find a file for example) it sends the error message and a screen shot to my company email. while it is sending this email it freezes the program and then continues after it has finished.

i want it to display a form which i have already created that tells the user an error report is being sent, but not freeze the program while it sends the email.

can anybody help?

Thanks alot

Bluejag.

Have you looked at the background worker component? It will allow you to run the email on a background thread without too much effort.

Thank you plausiblyDamp for that piece of info. Background worker was a sure eye-opener for me (as I was accustomed to programming threads in pre-.NET 2.0 era) ...
