Feature Request: Runspace Control

Shaun B

Sure. The immediate want is to be able to perform data gathering in the background of the application. So for example, if i have it connecting out pulling down a bunch of user data, sometimes it takes 2-3 minutes to finish. While doing this, the application will hang until complete.

I would imagine the control would give the ability to assign it the scripting, and then it is invoked when calling upon the control allowing it to run in the background runspace. With the ability to share variables/arrays between the calling form and the runspace. A way to get the data back.

I've been working out how to convert over to using runspaces with all of the work i've already put into this app, without having to rebuild from scratch. It's not a showstopper, but would be very beneficial.

Thanks Adam!

Could you expand on what you'd like to accomplish with runspaces? I want to understand what you're looking for the tool to do.
