Hello there,

currently I am working on a c# project with the .Net Compact Framwork.
I have to use two threads where one of them modifies a member of the
class in regular timed intervals. The "normal" (e.g. the first or
start or main thread :P) thread needs to read this data to display it.
So can this bring up some errors or problems (like asyncronous reading/
writing) and do I need a mutex for writing and reading the data from
different threads?
Are there any examples for this? I am relatively new to threads.

Thanks in advance
Tom

 Control.Invoke() method will be a good choice ~

Thanks for the replys.
I tryed with events - the problem with this seems that the event code
is only run in the thread where it was fired - so in my case the
thread that changes the variable.
Or am I missing something. The solution with lock() seems to works - I
think I do this. But maybe I am missing something with those events.

Control.Invoke() can not be used as the "user" of the variable - the
class member using the variable and thus the class - does not extend
Control. This means I can not use this. It seems that lock() is the
keyword for non-control classes?

Thanks
