So you have created a TimerCallback and everything?
Really I don't know why all this work is needed, I've never needed anything so extravagant for it.

[code=c#]
// Create the delegate that invokes methods for the timer.
TimerCallback mytimerDelegate = new TimerCallback(U pdateStatus);

// Create a timer that signals the delegate to invoke
// UpdateStatus after 1/2 second, and every 1/4 second thereafter.
Timer stateTimer = new Timer(timerDele gate, mytimerDelegate , 500, 250);

public void UpdateStatus(Ob ject stateInfo)
{
//do stuff in your timer-triggered thread
}
[/code]

Here is my code in the new thread [bytes wasnt letting me post on this thread previously when I made the new thread] http://bytes.com/forum/showthread.ph...41#post3182241

Thanks again Plater for merging the threads. Can you please advise how to resolve this?

The cross threading exception usually only popups when debuging (it gets ignored in a regular build)
You would want to use the InvokeRequired property on your gui items to find out if you need to invoke (force the command to execute on the same thread) for the gui.

Sorry but I am a bit lost there... Can you please explain [the Invoke bit]?

Just follow the messages it gives you when you get the exception. MSDN has a few examples that work well to solve that problem.

Works like a charm when released and used outside VS.



Thanks a ton - You guys rock!
