Hi:

In one of my window form, I created an instance of a class to do some works in the background. I wanted to capture the debug messages in that class and displayed in the textbox in the window form. Here is what I did:

class A //window form class
{
   public void startBackGroundTask()
   {
      B  backGroundTask = new B(this);
   }

   public void updateTextBox(string data)
   {
        if (data != null)
        {
            if (this.Textbox.InvokeRequired)
            {
                appendUIDelegate updateDelegate = new appendUIDelegate(updateUI);

                try
                {
                    this.Invoke(updateDelegate, data);
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                updateUI(data);
            }

        } 
   }

    private void updateUI(string data)
    {
        if (this.Textbox.InvokeRequired)
        {
            this.Textbox.Invoke(new appendUIDelegate(this.updateUI), data);
        }
        else
        {
            //update the text box
            this.Textbox.AppendText(data);
            this.Textbox.AppendText(Environment.NewLine);

        }
    }

    private delegate void appendUIDelegate(string data);
}

class B // background task
{
   A curUI;

   public b( A UI)
   {
      curUI = UI;

   }

   private void test()
   {
      //do some works here then log the debug message to UI.
      curUI.updateTextBox("message);
   }
}

I keep getting a null reference exception after this.Invoke(updateDelegate, data); is called.

I know passing "this" as a parameter is strange. But I want to send the debug message to my window form.

Please help.

Thanks
