Answer 1

May be you are unable to modify the DataGridView Control. Set CheckForCrossThreadcalls = false ,it may works

Answer 2

BackgroundWorker has a built in callback method of RunWorkerCompleted that you wire into and it handles the cross thread marshaling to the UI thread automatically. Before you call RunWorkerAsync you can wire into the the RunWorkerCompleted event.

backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerCompleted += new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler( backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted);

within the backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted you can bind your grid or set the DataSource property to the DataTable and it will be on the UI thread.

If you have already done this and are getting errors it might just be an unhandled exception within the DoWork/threaded code itself. If that is the case wrap the RunWorkerAsync call in a try catch and see what you get.

Hope that help...
