This example shows how to render a report in the thread. Rendering the report in the thread is run in the background process. For this purpose the BackgroundWorker class is used: 
private System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker backgroundWorker1;

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync();
}

In the start of the backgroundWorker1_DoWork() process event, you can dload the report and connect data. Also you should subscribe to the Rendering() event of the compiled report object: 
private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
	using (var stream = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().
		GetManifestResourceStream("RenderInThread.Master-Detail-Subdetail.mrt"))
	{
		report.Load(stream);
	}

	report.IsRendered = false;
	report.Compile();
	report.CompiledReport.Rendering += new EventHandler(CompiledReport_Rendering);
	report.Render(false);
}

In the CompiledReport_Rendering() event update the text on the form - show a value of the StatusString property. After completion of the thread work, show the report in the viewer: 
void CompiledReport_Rendering(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	button1.Invoke((EventHandler)delegate { button1.Text = report.StatusString; });
}

private void backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
	report.Show();
}

In the screenshot below you can see the result of the sample code:
