Passing data to Winforms UI using BeginInvoke
- by Bi
I am a C# newbie and have a class that needs to pass row information to a grid in the windows form. What is the best way to do it? I have put in some example code for better understanding.
public class GUIController
{
private My_Main myWindow;
public GUIController( My_Main window )
{
myWindow = window;
}
public void UpdateProducts( List<myProduct> newList )
{
object[] row = new object[3];
foreach (myProduct product in newList)
{
row[0] = product.Name;
row[1] = product.Status;
row[2] = product.Day;
//HOW DO I USE BeginInvoke HERE?
}
}
}
And the form class below:
public class My_Main : Form
{
//HOW DO I GO ABOUT USING THIS DELEGATE?
public delegate void ProductDelegate( string[] row );
public static My_Main theWindow = null;
static void Main( )
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
theWindow = new My_Main();
Application.Run(theWindow);
}
private void My_Main_Load( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
/// Create GUIController and pass the window object
gui = new GUIController( this );
}
public void PopulateGrid( string[] row )
{
ProductsGrid.Rows.Add(row);
ProductsGrid.Update();
}
}
