Hi
I need to download a file from the internet, and than insert the file to
SqlCe database, this process taks 2 to 4 minuts. (depend on the connection
to the internet)
How can I let the user the option to cancel this event in the middle ?
I can check a boolean variable while i'm in the loop but when this process
run, the pocket PC don't respond to a cansel button that set the boolean
variable
thanks

You need to perform your long process in a separate thread, so that the user
interface continues to be active. When you are performing the long process
with the user interface thread, no event processing occurs, so the Cancel
button doesn't get handled.
