    I have been screwing around in Visual C# recently and have thrown together a USAB. It works fine but the program freezes when it searches. This was also the case in a username grabber that I made in C#

    Could someone explain to me/provide example code on running multiple threads?

    just use this code:
    Code (Text):
    1. Thread t = New Thread(SubYouWantToExecute);
    2. t.IsBackground = True;
    3. t.Start([Optional parameter to pass to the thread]);
    To edit controls properties you can either set the "Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls" property to false, or use delegates.

    Are there any namespaces I need to import?

    System.Threading, I think.
