I'm using the below to update controls from another thread (works great) How would I call a Sub (Named UpdateList)? The UpdateList updates a listview with a list of databases on a selected SQL instance, requires no arguments.
Private Sub CompleteEventHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerMessageEventArgs)
SetControlPropertyValue(Label8, "text", e.ToString)
UpdateList()
MessageBox.Show("Restore Complete")
End Sub
Delegate Sub SetControlValueCallback(ByVal oControl As Control, ByVal propName As String, ByVal propValue As Object)
Private Sub SetControlPropertyValue(ByVal oControl As Control, ByVal propName As String, ByVal propValue As Object)
If (oControl.InvokeRequired) Then
Dim d As New SetControlValueCallback(AddressOf SetControlPropertyValue)
oControl.Invoke(d, New Object() {oControl, propName, propValue})
Else
Dim t As Type = oControl.[GetType]()
Dim props As PropertyInfo() = t.GetProperties()
For Each p As PropertyInfo In props
If p.Name.ToUpper() = propName.ToUpper() Then
p.SetValue(oControl, propValue, Nothing)
End If
Next
End If
End Sub
