Form with a progress bar is not responding

[SkyNet]

Hi,
I need to import a text file into a SQL Database.
Beside the button import, I have a progress bar on the form
The text file has almost 300.000 records and affter some time it appears on the title bar "Not Responding" and progress bar stops updating.
I've reading on forun something about Threads and background processes, but I don't want beleave that for a simple progress bar to work it must have such amount of code.
Can anyone explaind me a simple way of import all those records.

Thanks

Take a look at using the BackgroundWorker.

A simple example can be found here:

but I don't want beleave that for a simple progress bar to work it must have such amount of code.

The code is minimal.
