application hangs on while (webClient.IsBusy)

I am creating an updater and it launches/reads files when its done using while like so,

while (webClient.IsBusy) { lbStat.Text = "Downloading: " + file; }

It doesn't display the Downloading: Filehere but it does download. The download has a download bar how fast your downloading etc but will not show up because it hangs on while. Is there anything like while but does not hang?

Thats because you are running a time consuming work on your UI thread if you do that, your UI thread will block/freeze until that task completes.

I have used background worker in such scenarios .Here are few links that may help
