Say I have the following class/Form (semi psuedo):
public partial class X : Form
{
private DataTable dt;
private BackgroundWorker bg;
public X()
{
dt.Columns.Add("A");
dt.Columns.Add("B");
dt.Columns.Add("C");
}
private void button_Click(...)
{
bg = new BackgroundWorker();
bg.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(bg_DoWork);
bg.RunWorkerAsync();
}
private void bg_DoWork(...)
{
// do some stuff
MagicMethod(parameters);
// doesnt work, how to fix this?
dataGridView1.Invoke((Action)delegate { dataGridView1.DataSource = dt; });
}
private void MagicMethod(params)
{
// update a label, WORKS
label1.Invoke((Action) delegate { label1.Text = "somestuff" }
// do some stuff to fill the datatable
}
}
Ofcourse this is a distilled version, without the BackgroundWorker everything is sound, but since I want a more responsive UI I try to implement one. But the grid doesnt get updated by the worker (whereas the label does correctly). Any tips?
