vb.net - DoEvents in .NET

Question

What's the equivalent of the VB6's DoEvents in .NET?

EDIT:

I have a Sub that takes a long time to do its work. (it has a do-while) when I call it, The form turns white. in VB6 I used to put a DoEvents in the method (inside its do-while) to prevent this.

Answer 1

There are few (if any) cases in which DoEvents is the right solution in .NET. If you post a little about what you're doing, we might have some suggestions as to an alternative.

In response to your edit, what you need to do is create a BackgroundWorker. This will keep your main (GUI) thread free, allowing it to repaint and behave normally. There are many tutorials on the web for this, including this one.
