    I wish to loop through a very large file looking for text. At the same time I want to give feedback to the user in my Windows form without getting the whole window all locked. This process will take 5 minutes.

    I guess I must create some kind of thread?

    Any idea?

    I would suggest you look into the BackgroundWorker object. It's designed with your task in mind.

    This will do the trick, I'm sure :)

    I think Backgroundworker will do if you have Visual Studio 05 else threading is your lonely hope and offcource thread can be used in Visual Studio 05.
