WPF Button not disabling instantly

I have a login page and I want the login button to disable while the SQL query is checking whether it's a valid account.

This is so that you can't press the login button twice or more times while it's already trying to do it's thing. Just like any decent software.

When I call signinButton.IsEnabled = false in my signinButton_Click method it doesn't disable it until after my SQL has returned...

If I call MessageBox.Show("called") it will display it instantly, as expected, but for some reason that's not the same with IsEnabled.

Do I really need to use a seperate thread for this? It seems overly complicated, all I want to do is disable the button instantly, and not after the SQL has finished.

Much appreciated

Consider using async versions of your database calls with the await keyword. This allows your UI to be updated while query results are loaded.
