Basic Threading Problem

I just want a label to show a loading message before executing a bunch of code. I wrote this:

Code:

---

        private void LoadQueue()
        {
            displayRangeAuditLabel.Visible = false;
            sortByComboBox.Visible = false;
            showLateCheckBox.Visible = false;
            lblQueueLoading.Visible = true;

            if (LoadingThread != null && LoadingThread.IsAlive) LoadingThread.Abort();

            LoadingThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(BindAuditQueue));
            LoadingThread.Start();
        }

---

This works and displays my label about half the time - the other half, it only grays out the background area of the label. I suck at threads. What's wrong?

You need to show a more complete code snippet. The code you posted is missing the BindAuditQueue thread proc implementation.

Also, if you use [code] and [/code] tags, it will preserve formatting (I have modified your original post to include these).
