Threadsafe Invocation

Summary

In my opinion, all Windows Forms applications should be designed in a thread-safe manner instead of having everything run on the main UI thread. Use the following code to update the form's controls from your worker thread.

.Net 3.5

string myVar = "Argument"; 
control.Invoke((Action) delegate {this.Text = myVar;}); 

.Net 2.0

string myVar = "Argument"; 
control.Invoke((MethodInvoker) delegate {this.Text = myVar;});
