Windows Forms C#; Why does the program stop responding during the While loop?

Dyxen07ByDyxen07

I'm still a complete beginner and would like to know what options there are for looping in C# without making the Forms program unresponsive. The only ones I know are the While and For loops.

I'm currently using a while loop, but once it's active, nothing responds. Neither the timer nor the counting continues, and the Esc key doesn't work either. Only the Task Manager can help close the program.

What are the options to ensure that this is no longer the case and that everything still works despite the active While function?

This is because you block the main thread of the application, which is responsible for the processing of the individual events of the surface.

This can be repaired by executing the loop in your own thread and executing occasional communication with the surface via Invoke.
