Crossthread operation

[Guest]

I have a richtextbox that acts like a console with information on the status
of the server I am creating. I spawn new threads for each connection that is
created and would like to write the status to the console. When I try to do
that right now it gives me the error "Cross-thread operation not valid:
Control 'rtbConsole' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was
created on." Thanks in advance!s

Well, this is not allowed, as you might have guessed One article
that explains this very well is Jon Skeet's Threading overview, here's
the link to the relevant page:

You might want to read the rest of it (switch to other pages at the
bottom) if you do a lot of threading in your app.

your form should use only the main thread
you can create as many treads as u think u need but each time u wanna write
to your richtextbox u should do it with your main thread that handle the gui
