copied!<p><strike>You can add a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.timer.aspx" rel="nofollow">Timer</a> object to your form. Start the timer on the form load, and in the timer <code>Tick</code> event, run your code that you have in the infinite loop.</p> <p>Note: DO NOT include the <code>while(true)</code> loop, just the code inside the loop. You really don't want an infinite loop in your GUI thread :)</strike></p> <p>EDIT<br> I still think you may need to consider a redesign of the app behavior, but this should be better than the Timer I suggested earlier</p> <p>A somewhat better approach to the Timer (which should take care of the UI lag issue) would be for you to add a <a href="http://www.albahari.com/threading/part3.aspx#_BackgroundWorker" rel="nofollow">BackgroundWorker</a> to your UI. Add a <code>DoWork</code> method similar to this:</p> <pre><code>void DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e) { while(!_bw.CancellationPending) { // Do your socket connection stuff // you can either update some member variables and call // the progresschanged method or you can use a BeginIvoke call // to update the labels, you CANNOT update the labels in this method if (!_bw.CancellationPending) { // Checking the cancel pending before sleeping so that we don't sleep // while a cancel is pending. There are better ways to do this with // event handles, but this should get you off and running. Thread.Sleep(1000); } } e.Cancel = true; } </code></pre> <p>Note: If you were using .Net 4.0, you may want to consider using the task factory and a cancellation token rather than the BackgroundWorker, but either one should get you up and running.</p>
