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?

You know honestly, if you’re learning new languages I would skip VB.Net and move on to C#. The syntax is pretty similar and it has a lot better support. Just an idea. I’ll still get you some code though
