Advised way to sync to threads

chris.dannemiller

What is the advised way to sync to threads one is the primary thread
that handles rendering, and a secondary thread that occasionally
updates the data the render thread uses. I have tried a few things like
the Interlocked routines but they don't work like they did in MFC.

If the render thread is a UI thread, you should use
Control.Invoke/BeginInvoke if you're changing the UI (or want to
marshall any other call to the UI thread). See
http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/t...winforms.shtml

Otherwise, read the rest of the article (that's a page from the middle
of the article) and see if it helps you, then come back and ask again
(with more details) if it doesn't.
