Two simple questions

[mikker_123]

-Does Form.BeginInvoke needs to end with Form.EndInvoke? -Is it safe to access property or attribute (Text, Color) of Control from thread other than the one that created it? I know that you can't modify it but can you just read it (don't care about dirty read)?

No, because it's the equivalent of Win32 PostMessage() that occurs on the same thread.

Not unless you can guarantee that the creator thread will never write to it. Even then, this may cause an exception in code developed using VS2005. (You can disable this exception checking). /ravi
