Anyone has some good ideas about creating "Loading ...please wait" form or
control.

Thanks

I would consider doing the loading in a thread an display a dialog "Please
Wait" form which has a progress bar on it and a cancel button.  You can
update the dialog from the thread doing the loading using pinvoke and set a
variable accessable by both the thread and the main UI program.

Arne,

The most simple one as you see often done by Microsoft: play a GIF in a
picturebox.

AFAIK is there one in the SDK that is included in Visual Studio Net.
