Hello i have a code where im loading information from a SQL database and then load images into an listview, my problem is that its very slow loading everything because i have 800+ items, probably because of the images.
What im doing is i load the database and then load images from a folder with the same id, to an imagelist and then use the id to associate in the listview.

Now my question is there any smarter way to achieve this, but with faster loading, so that it would not take more than 10 seconds to load everything?

I cant post my code right now, since im not home but, if its needed i will post it.

I would say using a backgroundworker/threads could be the way to go. However, in my experience you'll find it hard to get it all to load as fast as you'd like.

It will most likely be due to loading all the images in to the listview depending on image dimensions and file size. If you don't need to show all the images at once then you could try 'paging' them like loading the first 50 and having a back/forward button to show the next 50 etc. It all depends on what you're trying to create and how you want to deliver it to the user.

Im already using a thread with a splash screen for it to load, but on one pc it waits in splash screen and on another it goes into the program while still showing the splash screen
