Windows Application using Thread

[sekarm]

Dear guys,
In C# windows application i am using four threads for seperate process. Each thread done seperate job.i want to monitor the thread process in main windows form.so each thread update data in windows controls in mainForm.By using this i got the exception "Cross thread operation not valid", so i am using Invoke method for access controls in mainform.by using this i am write if loop for invoke the control using delegate.Is any other way for accessing controls using thread.

Thanks & Regards,
Sekar M

You have to use invoke to change values on the main thread. Which means you need to use delegates. You can pass parameters with delegates, look at this article and it should sort you out.

Dear Guyz,
I saw the important concept in windows application. If Thread access the Controls in Windows Form the Exception will throw "Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'label1' accessed from a thread other than the thread
it was created on.".
To rectify this error all developers use InvokeRequired and Invoke Property. Apart from this using the following code in C#.Net.

 Form1.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false;

Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false;

if use this code you may not use InvokeRequired and Invoke Property. Please let me know if you have any concerns.

Best Wishes,
