Hi guys
I have a form with my gui on, just some list boxes.
And a class that handles incoming data.
i want to, on receiving data, update my gui.
However even though i have an instance created in my class handling the
receiving data of the gui form if i try and update the gui directly i get a
cross thread error, trying to access the form listbox from a thread other
that the one it was created on.
its because the method that called the gui update method is asynchronous.
How do i get round this, i have tried using events and delegates getting the
class to, on receving data, fire an event and then hook that event to the
gui so it updates on the event firing but this still causes the same error.
This must be possible right?

SORRY solved it.
For anyone else with a similar problem you need to use Invoke to call the
update fromt he controls thread.
So in my case in my Class taking the incoming connections i do something
like
_gui.Invoke(new UpdateGuiCallBa ck(_gui.Update) ); http://blogs.msdn.com/csharpfaq/arch.../17/91685.aspx

Try setting the CheckForIllegal CrossThreadCall s property of your form to false. Alternatively have a look here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171728.aspx

Hi Mike
Solved it already but thanks. Though your reply was interesting, if i was to
use the:
CheckForIllegal CrossThreadCall s
property, wouldn't that be dangerous to surpress the check? Couldn't i have
bugs in my software caused by the cross thread?

Daniel,
The check is provided by a Managed Debugging Assistant (MDA). It is
only compiled into debug builds. I believe the check will also occur
when the property is set to true in release builds. But, yeah,
accessing a control from a thread other than the UI thread would be
dangerous.

Use the BackgroundWorke r object in System.Componen tModel. There is a
pretty good example here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/sys...undworker.aspx
BackgroundWorke r is very easy to use.
The link above contains detailed info and the example (c#/vb/cpp) is
clear, I used it as a base for my own asynchronous functions when I
ran into the same problem as yourself, so I know it works. If you need
a hand let me know. Just to say, I tried several methods before
deciding on using BackgroundWorke r, it is certainly suitable for the
task.

I add something like this to UI methods that could be called from other
threads
[pseudo code]
private delegate void UpdatelistBoxDe legate(Object data);
public void UpdateListBox(O bject data)
{
if(this.InvokeR equired)
{
this.Invoke(new UpdatelistBoxDe legate(UpdateLi stBox(data));
return;
}
// do code to update ListBox
}

I forgot to mention why I like this. Rather than put the Invoke logic in
each location that might make a call to the UI methods, I only need to add
it to one place, the UI method. So I could have 20 different classes,
services, events etc all hitting that UI method and it will be protected.

Hi Steve
I ran into a few problems with the InvokeRequired, which ended up
producing similar cross thread errors I think, I was doing something
wrong anyways :-). I went with BackgroundWorke r in the end and quickly
had things working as required.

I am getting an error "Illegal cross-thread operation". I am not

I was wondering if there was a utility that could tell you when your C#
application is making cross-apartment COM calls. I have a fairly large
application that makes extensive use of a 3rd party object system that
is exposed to .NET through COM, and I'm really trying to avoid slow
cross-apartment calls.
Also, is using Invoke() on a class created from the main thread a
solution to making COM calls into that thread?
Thanks.

I have an object that starts a thread to do a "process". One of the steps
inside this thread launches 12 other threads via a Delegate.BeginInvoke to
process. After these 12 threads are launched, the main thread waits. At the
completion of each subthread, the mainthread checks all 12 thread objects to
see if they are done. If they are, raise an event that says we're done.
So, it's kinda like this:
