Re: Access or SQL

Split from http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/showthread.php?t=101879

I want to catch events in my main form and change the title to match the input from the event. I'm getting errors about crossthreading. Can some one please help me get this small test program working?

Here is the whole code:
Code:

Public Class Form1

Private WithEvents Worker As New WorkerClass

Private Sub Worker_ProgressChanged(ByVal Progress As Integer) Handles Worker.ProgressChanged
Me.Text = Progress
End Sub

End Class

Code:

Public Class WorkerClass

Public Event ProgressChanged(ByVal Progress As Integer)
Private t As Threading.Thread

Public Sub New()
t = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf MainThread)
t.Name = "BackgroundThread"
t.IsBackground = True
t.Start()
End Sub

Private Sub MainThread()
Dim Progress As Integer = 0
Do Until Progress = 10
Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
Progress += 1
RaiseEvent ProgressChanged(Progress)
Loop
End Sub

End Class

Re: Access or SQL

You can't update a UI element from a non UI thread, your ProgressChanged event is being raised on the background thread and as such is causing this problem.

Is there a reason you aren't using the built in BackgroundWorker component as you seem to be emulating it's way of doing things.
