"Posting" to GUI Thread from Background Thread

[C# Learner]

I'm working on an app which uses a background thread to read data from
a socket.

At the moment I'm doing something a bit "naughty" -- I'm firing an
event after reading from the socket, and this event gets picked up by
an event handler in the GUI thread, without "synchronizing" with this
GUI thread.

How can I "synchronize" threads in .NET?

MSDN Mag (Feb 03) issue has an excellent article on threads for responsive
UI -

Hope that helps.

Use Control.Invoke to run a delegate in the GUI thread associated with
a specific control.
