It seems you have a good understanding of your options. A thread would normally be the way I'd do what you are suggesting. But I've used a timer and done polling with slower data. How fast is your data? This project just does polling (at this time) but I may add a custom option with threading: www.CtrlTerm.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
