Set the UseWaitCursor property of the form to True and then do the actual work on a secondary thread. Once the work is complete, set the property back to False. The simplest option for that is to use a BackgroundWorker. Do the work in the DoWork event handler and reset the property in the RunWorkerCompleted event handler. Just make absolutely sure that you reset the property even if an exception is thrown.
