    <p>It's a little hard to tell exactly how your code works now, and I think the answer depends on whether or not your current implementation is blocking the UI (i.e., by making a synchronous call to your DB DLL).</p> <p>Now, if your call to the DLL is a synchronous one and it's blocking the UI then, yes, you might want to consider using a BackgroundWorker to do that work and allow your main UI thread to avoid hanging. You can refer to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1259949/how-to-implement-progress-bar-and-backgroundworker-for-database-calls-c">How do I implement a progress bar in C#?</a> for some answers.</p> <p>But you still need some mechanism for knowing the progress of your DB call, and it doesn't sound like the DLL exposes anything like that yet.</p> <p>Just reading between the lines of your question, it sounds like you have some ability to modify the DLL. If so, then you should try to use a pattern that preserves decoupling between the DLL and your UI app when providing progress information. Your UI code should really be responible for updating itself based on some data that the DLL can provide in a loosely coupled way. I would suggest using either:</p> <ul> <li>A subscription model by listening on an event published by some class in the DLL; or</li> <li>A polling model to actively monitor some data object implemented in the DLL on a periodic basis (e.g., during a Timer Tick handler).</li> </ul> <p>Either way, you want to avoid tightly coupling the two layers together by coding the DLL to have intimate knowledge of your UI layer. Both of the aforementioned possibilities should allow you to keep your UI updating code on the main UI thread of your app executable in most circumstances, which is important if you want to avoid multithreading issues.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
