form logic/timing

[Planker]

How do I get my label to update on the form before my program enters the function? currently the form does not update until the download function hits a message box that is in it. String stime = DateTime.Now.ToString(); lblStartDisplay.Text = stime; Download();

Can you explain more thoroughly what you need to achieve?

[Stefan Troschuetz]

The following should do the trick:

String stime = DateTime.Now.ToString();
lblStartDisplay.Text = stime;
lblStartDisplay.Refresh();
Download();
