C#: Cross-Thread Problem

[Iridium]

Greetings,

First I'd like to say that this is a very nice forum and it already helped me alot with some other projects. But now to the problem:

I wrote a server that is based on the code found here . This server allows me to handle multible clients/connections at the same time.

Now I need to add an event (for example a key is pressed), which then sends a specific message to all clients that are actually connected. The problem here is that I dont know how to do that, since there are multible threads running the same code but with a different client.

Since the control that sends the event is in the main thread, it has something to do with cross-thread operations.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks in advance

Is this event based around a time, admin initiating or user?

No, that event is not around a time, its coming from an external source and then needs to be transmitted to the clients. It would be also nice if I could "forward" the message coming from the event to the clients, but thats a different task. So just basically get the server to send a message to the clients as soon the event occurs.

Few years back when i was learning .net 1.1, we used to do Remoting for such scenarios...my memories are all dried up but i thought if u think on these lines you would be able to solve it.

Remoting for such scenarios.[..]

Well, Remoting sounds interessting, but the connection is also used for other things, so I will use TCP connections.
Noone has an idea how I could solve that?

Noone has a good idea? I still have the same problem and I cant find a solution.
