Read up on Control.BeginInvoke (and .Invoke) in the docs (not to be confused with Delegate.BeginInvoke and .Invoke).
These methods, which are inherited by all winforms elements (forms, controls, etc) are specifically designed to supporting updating UI elements in a forms app from the 'wrong' thread. In addition to the samples you'll find the docs/sdk, I have a couple on my site that demonstrate the usage model: http://www.bearcanyon.com/dotnet/#AsyncControlUpdates http://www.bearcanyon.com/dotnet/#MultithreadingHazards Then if you have follow up questions, check the archives of DevelopMentor's DOTNET-WINFORMS list (http://discuss.develop.com/archives/dotnet-winforms.html). If your question hasn't already been asked & answered, then post your follow up to that list. -Mike http://www.bearcanyon.com > problem: > when this method is being executed, I want to be able to update a > listview. this listview is of course on the Winform, but since A was > created on a diff. thread, I can't update the listview control !! > =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor� http://www.develop.com Some .NET courses you may be interested in: NEW!
