Threading Question - Newbie

[Benjamin Pierce]

Hi All,

I'm fairly new to the world of threading in VB.NET and would like to know if
it's possible (and not unstable) to access a global object (in a form class)
with multiple threads that are spawned from within the same form.

I know that you're not allowed to access GUI elements from threads other
than the UI thread, so I guess I'm just wondering if the same applies to
global variables.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank You,

Benjamin Pierce

That looks like it will do the trick.

Much appreciated!

Benjamin,

You can use in both threads the global variables.

However you have to synclock them when you are changing those variables in
more threads.

I hope this helps,

Cor
