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 UpdateGuiCallBack(_gui.Update)); http://blogs.msdn.com/csharpfaq/arch.../17/91685.aspx

Try setting the CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls 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:
CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls
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 BackgroundWorker object in System.ComponentModel. There is a
pretty good example here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/sys...undworker.aspx
BackgroundWorker 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 BackgroundWorker, 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 UpdatelistBoxDelegate(Object data);
public void UpdateListBox(Object data)
{
if(this.InvokeRequired)
{
this.Invoke(new UpdatelistBoxDelegate(UpdateListBox(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 BackgroundWorker in the end and quickly
had things working as required.

This question has nothing in common with cross thread calls.
That aside, have you tried using the classes in the System.Net.Sockets
namespace?
