Hi guys.
Im having a problem with this.
I have an object that i create in other thread. Now what i want to do, is that when i close my app in the event it must call a method from the object created in the thread maded earlier.
How can i do this? I ve tried calling just the object by its name but it doesnt work.
Thanks

Please show us your code work. You should have to use Parameterized Thread.

If you are trying to marshal a call to the GUI thread it depends -- Is it a windows form or WPF application? Winforms use Control.Invoke() while WPF uses Dispather.Invoke() .

Here is a recent thread with a similar question, using winforms:
http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread318221.html

If you're wanting to marshal the call a non-GUI thread you need to implement ISynchronizeInvoke . IDesign has an example of an ISynchronizeInvoke implementation:

I will post my code, so you can tell me if i have to use isynchronizeinvoke or what.

In Form1:

thread = new Thread(run);
thread.Start();  
   
 public void run()
        {
            socketConectado = new ConectadoThread(); 
        }

Now, i want to call a method of "socketConectado".
How can i do this?
I cant just put socketConectado.METHOD()

Thanks
