C# - Code processing order - strange behaviour?

You're doing everything within the UI thread, which is a really bad idea - the UI doesn't get to update, react to events etc until you've finished.

Your whole method runs as a blocking unit currently - add an Application.DoEvents() as a workaround, but really you should be doing this kind of processing in a background thread, i.e. Using a background worker.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
