I'm developing a application where there are some time consuming database activity and I need to show the user that the application is running and not crashed. You would also want the GUI thread to be free so the user can move the window and navigate the menus.

I found a blog with a simple example of how you can use a backgroundworker for this. *

I'm developing an inventory software and I was using a listview component. But I do need to be able to change the sorting. Microsft have whitepaper on how to do this. Started reading and then gave up. Did a google search and found ObjectListView. Love at first sight!

This DLL-package is what I was looking for and it's a really nice application. NOTE: This is an open source and is licensed under GPL

Since the getting started guide on their homepage is awsome i'll just link to that page. Get it on!
