multithreading - c# run process without freezing my App's GUI

Question

I want to start a process (calling another program), currently the external program takes time (it is normal)!

but it freezes my GUI I saw allot of examples and I'm learning, it is hard to figure it out, trying to read and learn threading, but it is not that easy (at least for me) and good simple tutorial or code sample?

cheers

Here is a link showing how to use an asynchronous method. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/AsyncMethodInvocation.aspx

You can use the asynchronous method to start the process, and it won't freeze the gui while it starts up.

void Your_Method()
{
   //Start process here
}


MethodInvoker myProcessStarter= new MethodInvoker(Your_Method);

myProcessStarter.BeginInvoke(null, null);
