Background processing in COM?

[MattWoberts]

Hi,

I have never attempted threading or backgroud processing in VB before, but heres what I want to do:

I have a COM component that is called from my web application. This COM component needs to update some DB stuff when the user clicks a button, but since this data isn't of concern to the user, I wanted to run it as a "background process" somehow... I thought that threading would be the answer...

Does this sound possible, and if so does anyone have any pointers?

Thanks!!

VB does not deliberately support multithreading, though some people on here have done some crafty things with the API in the past I beleive...

Try running a search in the forum.

Yep...or, at least, vaguely sneaky...
