In your GetText method when InvokRequired is true it does not return a
string as defined by the delegate. The invoke function needs to return a
value. See below.

private string GetText()

if (this.textBox1.InvokeRequired)
{
GetTextCallback d = new GetTextCallback(GetText);
object returnedCallBackObject= this.Invoke(d, new object[] {});

return (string)returnedCallBackObject;

return this.textBox1.Text;

don't really know what I am doing. Please help.
