Hi all,

Here is my problem, I have a class which have a object who throw an event and in this event I throw a custom event from my class. But unfortunately the original object throw the event from another thread and so my event is also throw on another thread. This cause a exception when my custom event try to access from controls.

Here is a code sample to better understand :

class MyClass
{
    // Original object
    private OriginalObject myObject;

    // My event
    public delegate void StatsUpdatedDelegate(object sender, StatsArgs args);
    public event StatsUpdatedDelegate StatsUpdated;

    public MyClass()
    {
        // Original object event
        myObject.AnEvent += new EventHandler(myObject_AnEvent);
    }

    // This event is called on another thread
    private void myObject_AnEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Throw my custom event here
        StatsArgs args = new StatsArgs(..........);
        StatsUpdated(this, args);
    }
}

So when on my windows form I call try to update a control from the event StatsUpdated I get a cross thread exception cause it has been called on another thread.

What I want to do is throw my custom event on the original class thread, so control can be used within it.

Anyone can help me ?
