This article refers to the following Microsoft .NET Framework Class Library namespaces:

SUMMARY
loadTOCNode(1, 'summary');This step-by-step article shows you how to query a database on a background thread and use databinding to display the results in a DataGrid object.
When large queries to a database are executed, the application may become unresponsive for a long period of time. To avoid this behavior and decrease the waiting time of the user, the query can be executed on a background thread, releasing the application for other tasks until the data is returned from the database and databinding is performed.

Requirements
loadTOCNode(2, 'summary');The following list outlines the recommended hardware, software, network infrastructure, and service packs that you need:
| • | Microsoft Visual Studio .NET |
| • | Access to the Northwind sample database |

Background
loadTOCNode(2, 'summary');By design, Windows Form or Control methods cannot be called on a thread other than the one that created the form or control. If you attempt to do this, an exception is thrown. Depending on the exception handling implemented in your code, this exception may cause your application to terminate. If no exception handling is implemented, the following error message is displayed:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll
Additional information: Controls created on one thread cannot be parented to a control on a different thread.
The exception is raised because Windows Forms are based on a single-threaded apartment (STA) model. Windows Forms can be created on any thread; after they are created, however, they cannot be switched to a different thread. In addition, the Windows Form methods cannot be accessed on another thread; this means that all method calls must be executed on the thread that created the form or control.
Method calls that originate outside the creation thread must be marshaled (executed) on the creation thread. To do this asynchronously, the form has a BeginInvoke method that forces the method to be executed on the thread that created the form or control. The synchronous method call is done with a call to the Invoke method.

Build the Windows Forms application
loadTOCNode(2, 'summary');This section describes how to create a Windows Form application that queries a database on a background thread and uses the BeginInvoke method to perform databinding on a DataGrid.
| 1. | Start Visual Studio .NET. |
| 2. | Create a new project, select Visual C# as the Project Type, and use the Windows Application template. |
| 3. | Add a Button object to the form, and change its Text property to "Query on Thread". |
| 4. | Add another Button to the form, and change its Text property to "Query on Form". |
| 5. | Add a Label to the form, and clear its Text property. |
| 6. | Add a TextBox to the form. |
| 7. | Add a DataGrid to the form. |
| 8. | Right-click the form, and then click View Code; this displays the code of your application. |
| 9. | Add the following using statements to the top of the page in order to use the Threading and SqlClient namespaces:[code] using System.Threading; using System.Data.SqlClient; [/code] |
| 10. | Add the following code immediately below the Windows Forms Designer Generated Code:[code] static Form1 MyForm;
Thread UpdateThread;
ThreadStart UpdateThreadStart = new ThreadStart(QueryDataBase);
static MethodInvoker CallDataBindToDataGrid = new MethodInvoker(DataBindToDataGrid);
static DataSet MyDataSet;
static SqlDataAdapter MyDataAdapter;
static string MyQueryString = "SELECT [Order Details].*, Orders.CustomerID, Orders.EmployeeID, Orders.OrderDate FROM [Order Details] CROSS JOIN Orders";
static SqlConnection MyConnection = new SqlConnection("data source=localhost;initial catalog=Northwind;integrated security=SSPI;");[/code]Note The query used in this demonstration is a Cartesian Product that returns over 165,000 rows from the Northwind database. The amount of data returned is large so that the responsiveness of the form can be demonstrated. |
| 11. | Open the Windows Forms Design view. |
| 12. | Double-click the Query on Thread button, and paste the following code in the Click event for this button:[code] UpdateThread = new Thread(UpdateThreadStart); UpdateThread.Name = "Update Thread"; UpdateThread.IsBackground = true; UpdateThread.Start(); [/code] |
| 13. | Open the Design view again, and then double-click the Query on Form button. Paste the following code in the Click event for this button:[code] QueryDataBase(); [/code] |
| 14. | Paste the following code below the button events that you added in the earlier steps:[code] // Sub routine that is to be executed on Form's thread.
static void DataBindToDataGrid()
{
MyForm.dataGrid1.DataSource = MyDataSet;
MyForm.dataGrid1.DataMember = "MyTable";
MyDataSet = null;
MyDataAdapter = null;
}
// Sub routine used by the background thread to query database.
static void QueryDataBase()
{
MyDataSet = new DataSet();
MyConnection.Open();
MyDataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(MyQueryString, MyConnection);
MyForm.label1.Text = "Filling the DataSet";
MyDataAdapter.Fill(MyDataSet, "MyTable");
MyConnection.Close();
MyForm.label1.Text = "DataSet Filled";
MyForm.BeginInvoke(CallDataBindToDataGrid);
}[/code]These Sub routines are used by the background thread to query the database and databind it to the DataGrid located on the Windows Form when the first button is clicked. The Click event of the second button calls the QueryDataBase Sub routine directly, and will be executed on the Windows Form thread. |
| 15. | Modify the main function to look as follows:[code] MyForm = new Form1(); Application.Run(MyForm); [/code] |
| 16. | Press CTRL+SHIFT+B to build your application. |

Demonstration
loadTOCNode(2, 'summary');To see the benefit that is gained by using a background thread to query the database, follow these steps:
| 1. | Press CTRL+F5 to execute your application without debugging. |
| 2. | Click the Query on Form button. This begins the query on the Windows Forms thread. If you then try to enter some text in the text box that is displayed on the form, the application does not respond. After the query has completed (this may take some time, depending on your computer), the DataGrid displays the results of the query. |
| 3. | Click the Query on Thread button. This creates a background thread that queries the database and keeps the application responsive to user interaction. To see this, click the button, and then type some text in the text box on the form. |
