What would be best way: To write an update program?

Question

Hello:

I need to write an update program and was wondering if anyone can give me some advice.

I will be looping through some records and would like to show a progress bar and/or counters...like records completed, errors, updated, not updated.

Should I do this in a regular Windows form or is there a better way?

Your question is a little vague but probably a form is good. You probably should use a worker thread though. There are articles in this web site about that. The worker thread would need special code for communicating with the main thread and there are articles in this web site about that also.

Sam: Thanks... Worker Thread is the key word I was looking for. Its hard to find what I need without knowing the correct key word(s).
