link tableadapter.fill and progressbar using vb.net

[nev]

i can't seem to find a clear answer on this one. i use the data designer on my program so all i have in my form load is the tableadapter.fill statement. now how do i link a progressbar to it?

Use an update panel, and place your grid within that.
Also add a progress cont4rol (not sure what they exactly call it, and link it to that updatepanel) - this control is not like a progress bar, but just a general updating style of icon which would show the user a busy icon until it recieves the data from the server

sorry about my unclear inquiry. here is what i really mean.

I have used the dataset designer for all my forms. It has generated code in my form load like these...

private sub form_load()
tableadapter.fill(dataset.datatable)
end sub

Using what I already have, I want to add a progress bar and show progress of that fill code. I have tried searching about this on the internet but no one around the globe can give a clear answer.

What do you exactly mean by show the progress of fill ?
Is it showing a percentage of what the fill method has retrieved as yet?

Im not sure if this could be achiveable, because your database backend will send all the records at once together, so you would have no way of finding out how much data has been filled.

However once the data is recieved and is loading you could have the progress bar updating, Not sure of that again, but this thread "data adapter fill method progress status" has answered someone
good luck

when he said dataadapter has a rowupdated event, does he mean tableadapter? because i checked my tableadapter events it only has the disposed event.

before i the adapter tries to fill the datatable, i would like to count the number of records. i think i can look at the adapter. there's something about the executescalar() method that i think i can use.
