30. Control.Invoke.NET Compact Framework 1.0.NET System.Windows.Forms requires use of Control.Invoke to marshal a delegate from a user thread back to the GUI thread Otherwise your user interface will stop responding. More on MSDN Invoking Method Parameters on a Thread Multithreaded Windows Forms Control Example 1.0 supported type EventHandler delegate only // on a thread you (the user) created EventHandler x; x = new EventHandler(this.UpdateProgressBar); this.Invoke(x); // marshal back to GUI thread void UpdateProgressBar(object o, EventArgs e); { // this needs to execute on the GUI thread this.progressBar1.Value++; }

31. Support for custom delegates Return values Custom parameters Asynchronous support BeginInvoke/EndInvoke Exception for cross-thread GUI calls unique to.NET Compact Framework Control.Invoke.NET Compact Framework 2.0 IAsyncResult result = this.BeginInvoke(myDelegate, new object[]{“hello”}); // do other processing here while thread runs int returnCode = (int)this.EndInvoke(result); public delegate int myDelegate(string s);
