The action that takes a long time should not be in the main UI thread; instead, that's what should be farmed out to a worker thread or a Task.

Did you try WMI?

Are you adding the required line breaks? If you reveal a bit of your code it might help others solve the problem. As previously stated, you're going to have a hard time finding a balance of content and format. Once, there was this whole thing about HTML and CSS, and then, this other time, XML and XSL/T...

I found that adding this line to the forms load event (or where you set the items in the treeview) helps: this.treeView.Height = (this.treeView.Height / this.treeView.ItemHeight) * this.treeView.ItemHeight + 3; I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set. And I think I need a Lear jet.

I suggest you reinstall visual studio, I am guessing that intellisense is broken on your machine. Once you do that, if you type myTabControl and hit the ., you will get a list of possible methods to call. Look for the Insert method. You'll find that it even gives you popups telling you what everything does, so you can use it to explore a class for anything you think should be in there.

You'll have to write your own control to do this, I believe. Have fun! There are a bunch of commercial versions, if you're willing to pay for it.

Excellent, thank you. Just what I was looking for. I only have one suggestion: do it in the service installer after service installation is completed, before the service starts up. This way the first time the service starts, it's already able to interract with the desktop: private void serviceInstaller1_AfterInstall(object sender, InstallEventArgs e) { ServiceDesktopPermission(); var controller = new ServiceController("SERVICE_NAME"); controller.Start(); }

ok.......Thanks...

Use a BackgroundWorker object. Timers are okay, but they send the lowest priority message Windows has, and it's not guaranteed to be handled in a busy system. So, to avoid the issue, use a BackgroundWorker.

If I am understanding your question correctly, then: You can get the xml data into the datset using DataSet.ReadXML method and set it as the source for the grid.
