label/textbox problem

[dragonfly]

i'm developing a C# windows application

for converting data from a database to another

 

during the conversion

i want to display the table name i'm converting

so, i try to use label/textbox

 

e.g.

//converting table 1

label.Text = "converting table1";

...

//converting table 2

label.Text = "converting table2";

...

//converting table n

...

//finished

label.Text = "FINISHED!!";

 

but none of them change the text during operation

the label / textbox change the text UNTIL the END of the conversion,

 

that is, the text displayed is always "FINISHED!!"

 

any method could force the text changes?

or any alternative i could use instead?

 

thanks in advance

Application.DoEvents will help you with this, if this doesn't works out you can try textBox1.Refresh after setting the text

 

// Sets text

 

textBox1.Text = "Hello";

textBox1.Refresh;
