you should look at the BackgroundWorker.

This will allow you to start the database operations on a background thread, so that your UI is not locked and also to report progress back to the main thread so you can update the UI with the results.

now that was funny. Both at exactly the same time!

+1 A:

You already have your UI thread running. Hence create a thread/BackgroundWorker for the db operation.

The backgroundworker has some convenient functions to do work without blocking the UI while it's possible to update the UI. MSDN
