Viper Hi, I want to show an animated picture while I'm synchronising data. I'm using the C# language on a Pocket PC 2003. I tried to use a thread but when I saw that a thread can be started but not aborted I changed my mind. So I went to the timer control of a form, this did'nt work. The last try was with the Timer class using the timerdelegate where I changed the Image of a picture box every 200 ms. I have 8 images (embedded) and each 200ms I want the next picture assigned to my picturebox. This does not work neather. Can any one help me solving this???

I mean, during the call of a webservice the animation stops until I got the data from the weservice. Any idea how I can solve this. For the moment I did initiate a llopcount of 5 and this way the animation wil run 5 times even if the ata has already returned (so ready to use). It is faking a delay of getting the data (just for show) and that is not what I really want.

Once BeginXXX has returned initate the animation. When your callback is invoked, set a flag that stops animation (and call Application.DoEvents to have it processed) -- Alex Feinman --- Visit http://www.opennetcf.org "Viper" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:vC4uc.551$Click here to reveal e-mail address...

Here the code I use: public void SyncEmployees() { PocketKilometer.PocketWebservices.PocketKilometer kmWebservice; // The webservice returning a dataset AsyncCallback asCb; kmWebservice = new PocketKilometer.PocketWebservices.PocketKilometer(); asCb= new AsyncCallback(this.SyncComplete); lblStatus.Text = "Synchronisation ...."; animateCtl1.StartAnimation();// Start the animation (loop = 0) IAsyncResult asResult = kmWebservice.BeginGetEmployees(asCb,kmWebservice); // Start the asynchronous call to the webservice } /// /// The callback method for the async call of the webservice /// public void SyncComplete(IAsyncResult ar) { PocketKilometer.PocketWebservices.PocketKilometer kmWebservice = (PocketKilometer.PocketWebservices.PocketKilometer) ar.AsyncState; DataTable dt = null; dt = kmWebservice.EndGetEmployees(ar).Tables[0]; SyncDatabase(dt); animateCtl1.StopAnimation(); animateCtl1.Show(); } What's wrong????

[Original message clipped] Reply to this message...        Alex Feinman [MVP] (VIP) The only thing that I see is wrong there is that you are trying to do things with the Animate control inside the AsyncCallback. You cannot do this - suchg things are done via Control.Invoke. What exactly is returned by EndGetEmployees? -- Alex Feinman --- Visit http://www.opennetcf.org "Viper" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:we5vc.415$Click here to reveal e-mail address...
