i would like to set rotating/animated hour glass during a lengthy db call ..

Any ideas how to do that ?

Cursor currentCursor = Cursor.Current; try { Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor; // Do your DB call here } finally { Cursor.Current = currentCursor; }

Cursor currentCursor = Cursor.Current; try { Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor; // Do your DB call here } finally { Cursor.Current = currentCursor; }
