Updating textbox from BackgroundWorker?

[planetthoughtful]

Hi All,

I have a Windows Form app that does some work in a BackgroundWorke r.
I'd like to append information to a textbox from within the
BackgroundWorke r but it keeps telling me that I can't do this across
threads.

Can anyone give me some help in figuring out how (or if) this can be
done? I just simply want to append text to txtDisplayMessa ges.

Any help appreciated!

Much warmth,

I have the solution on my website:
