why does this code stop responding

Hi,

i posted an earlier thread similar to this but maybe i wasnt on target in specifying my problem.

I have something like this:

while(some condition is true)

{

do something//

}

This condition goes false after a long time(30-40 minutes)

but my process becomes non-responsive in about 2 minutes. there's nothin wrong in the processing within the loop. Please help

netnav
try adding

Application.DoEvents();

in the while so that the UI will be responsive.

How do you know the process is non-responsive Have you tried creating breakpoints or logging each pass (or 1-of-x passes) to a file/Console Also, what are you doing in each pass Maybe you're leaking memory or doing something unsafe that is causing the process to become unresponsive. The prior poster is correct - a process should go on forever without doing anything using your code.

hi,

i guess the best way is to complete this while loop because nothing wrong with while( something is true)

best regards
