This is my code and I want it to update the UI with it but I am unsure how to do so. I am looking for an example with commenting so I can understand it. So far I have posted on a few sites and everyone will tell me what to do or give me an example but nobody will tell me what to do with the example! They expect me to know what the code does, but If I knew what it did, do you really think I'd be asking questions? Anyways, back on topic:

This is what I am trying to accomplish. When I click Leech_btn, it starts my backgroundworke r. The background worker downloads the string of a website from the list _Array and moves it over to SourceDownloade d to be filtered. (It removes all the proxies from the website) It then should display the proxies in Proxy_list but this is where I am having trouble. What should I do?

So what you're wanting is for someone to just do it for you, and add comments for you? Am I understanding you correctly? If not then please let me know :)

No, I'm looking for someone to spend some actual time responding to my questions and explaining their reasoning and how I should more specifically go about it but I guess I can't expect that here. Especially when this is the first reply and your a mod. Ha.

@Bizzet you're absolutely right, I was having a hard day and took it out on you and for this I apologize. As for your code, did you write that code or was it copied from somewhere (not meant as an insult I promise), just trying to figure out what we can do to help.

Does that code do what you're looking for? If not what does it do versus what you're looking to accomplish?

[Bizzet]

Well it was, but I have modified it so much that it's not really the same code as the original source anymore. I believe the backgroundworke r works as it is suppose to but my UI does get updated. It is suppose to be adding the proxies scraped from the website to my listbox, _Proxylist.

What kind of application are you developing?

If it's WPF, then you should be looking into using the Dispatcher class to update your UI with the stuff you retrieved in your threads.

If it's a win forms application, you'll have to put a sync lock around the code that updates the control and use the ListView.BeginI nvoke method to do the updation.
