Form Reference

[Mike J]

Hi I have a Form with textbox controls on it
and a run button
The Run button Starts a Class that does some
work against our Sql Database In a Loop
During this time i want to update the windows form for current status of
this Object running

Iam havein problems referencing back to the form
if i try to add refference i get a circular problem

i can call a method of the form but i can't gets it type at compile time..

any examples will help thanks

example from button click
private void btnRun_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

this.btnRun.Enabled=false;

//parameters app logging class, db, txtfile or eventlog, thread id,
application xml configuration

PreProcessing.RunPreProcess oPreProc = new
PreProcessing.RunPreProcess(this.oLog, 1, this.AppInfo);

oPreProc.RunningAsService = false; // also runs as a windows service
oPreProc.Run();

oPreProc.Close(); // clean up

this.btnRun.Enabled = true;

}

i want to update the windows form and can not reference it...early binding

What problem exactly?

Instead of directly referencing the form, have you considered adding
an event that the form can handle? If the task is time consuming you
may want to run it on a background thread. If you use the
BackgroundWorker component it will handle much of the work for you.

{
//send a event to the form need help here
