Threading with WinForm

[tinyabs]

How do I call a method in the main form from a thread? My thread will do
some work and update the progress in the main form continuously until end.
Do i use a method, a delegate or a callback?

You need a reference to one control in the UI (like the progressbar) and
call Control.Invoke

You can't modify the UI from a thread different than the one created the
control. To marshal the call look at look at Control.InvokeRequired,
Control.Invoke and Control.BeginInvoke memebers.

I'd also suggest reading through the following articles:
