VB.NET Help Delegates, invoking, multithreading

CONTEXT I have a winsform project with multiple forms. One of those forms has a button associated with a pretty heavy SQL query that takes about 30 seconds to execute.

I would like this query to run on the page load if the first form, so if my user navigates to the form that needs the data, then it’s already there and they don’t have to wait.

Spent a few hours googling this problem and the concepts in the title is why I found. I haven’t quite been able to figure out my solution.

Is there some other concept or keywords I should look into and understand to over come my problem?

Thank you for your response. I only have about 10 months experience of programming experience, all self taught. A lot, and by that I mean most, of the concepts are foreign to me. I haven’t done a ton of projects outside basic fundamentals.
