  #1  
Feb 26th, 2007
Hii
I want to work with MultyThreading concept and I am using the following code.
But when i try to run the the MultiThreading (multiThreadedButton_Click()) its giving an error at
FillList() function.

The code is :

C#.Net Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  
  2.  private void Delay(int v_MilliSeconds)

  3.    {

  4.       long startTime = Environment.TickCount;

  5.       while( Environment.TickCount - startTime < v_MilliSeconds )

  6.        {

  7.        }

  8.    }

  9.  
  10.     /*

  11.         * Fill the listbox with hello world buttons.  Pause for a period

  12.         * of time between each message.

  13.     */

  14.  
  15.         private void FillList()

  16.         {

  17.             responseList.Items.Clear();

  18.             responseCountLabel.Text = "0";

  19.             ToggleButtons(false);

  20.             for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)

  21.             {

  22.                 responseList.Items.Add("Thread #" + i);

  23.                 this.Delay(1000);

  24.             }

  25.             this.ToggleButtons(true);

  26.         }

  27.  
  28.         /*

  29.          * Toggle the form buttons on or off accordingly.

  30.          */

  31.         private void ToggleButtons(bool v_Toggle)

  32.         {

  33.             this.nonThreadedButton.Enabled = v_Toggle;

  34.             this.multiThreadedButton.Enabled = v_Toggle;

  35.         }

  36.  
  37.         private void testResponseButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

  38.         {

  39.             this.responseCountLabel.Text =

  40.             Convert.ToString(Convert.ToInt32(this.responseCountLabel.Text) + 1);

  41.  
  42.         }

  43.  
  44.         private void multiThreadedButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

  45.         {

  46.              // Launch a thread to do the update

  47.             System.Threading.Thread sampleThread =

  48.             new System.Threading.Thread(

  49.             new System.Threading.ThreadStart(this.FillList));

  50.             sampleThread.Start();

  51.  
  52.         }

  53.  

The error is :

Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'responseCountLabel' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.

Please help me..

Thanks in Advance.

All controls on the form should be accessed from the delegate.
Code i send to jou works perfect on my machine.
Error you are receiving inicates that variable 'responseList' is Controll which is not case in my code , it is simly ArreyList instance declared as private memeber.
Here is my Form1.Designer.cs file
[code]
namespace ThreadingTestCS
{
partial class Form1

components.Dispose();

As you can see variable responseList is not added to the controls collection of the form.

Hi,

Im new to this community and when searching for threading concepts stumbled into this post. I would like to add something.

The basic reason for a cross thread error is the fact that all controls are handled using internal threads. To by pass the internal threads and use the controls we go for delegates. U may find the following links usefull.
