How do you get around not having Callbacks?

[M. Said]

First, let me start by saying I am new CF.

I have a class DB.cs that does Database function. this class has a
method called processRecords().

I also have 2 forms, F1.cs and F2.cs, both have a button and a progress bar.

When I press the button on either form, I would like to execute
DB.processRecords() (in a thread if possible - not sure about this yet)
and update the UI progressBar in the form that called DB.processRecords().

How is this done in CF without using Callbacks? any examples?

Thanks in advance.

Use a delegate. There are lots of samples on the web, from MSDN to
CodeProject. I'd start by googling for a simple delegate tutorial.

You could create, and raise an event in the DB class, and have the two
forms declare the db class using the WithEvents keyword, and then update
the UI from an event method

That worked great.

Thanks.

WithEvents is a VB keyword. The original poster is clearly using C#.
