Are you high?
private void Export_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Thread add = new Thread(() => ExportDoc());
add.IsBackground = true;
add.Start();
}
private void ExportDoc()
{
if (Total)
{
//export to word & save the doc
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Press The Populate Info Button First", "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}
}
all it does is export the contents of a few textboxes and a datagridview to word, but it throws a cross-threading error in one of the textboxes (bikedet.text). i was following a simple tut in this section and saw a link at the end to another thread explaingin this problem and how to fix it - but I became very very lost very quickly
Can anyone show me how to fix it?Thanks

I'm not sure if this is what you wanted but this is what I use to export accounts in my account creator.
//Add these to the top of your project
using System.IO;
using System.Threading;
//Add this to the button that exports!
saveFileDialog.ShowDialog();
if (saveFileDialog.FileName == null)
return;
Thread write = new Thread(() => writing(saveFileDialog.FileName));
write.IsBackground = true;
write.Start();
//Add this under the button you use to export!
private void writing(string filename)
{
try
{
using (StreamWriter File = new StreamWriter(filename))
{
foreach (var Acc in Accounts)
{
File.WriteLine(Acc.Username + ":" + Acc.OAuth);
}
}
MessageBox.Show("Accounts Exported", "Success", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error); return;
}
}

checkforillegalcrossthreads = false;
Threads are great but I do believe tasks are better but i'm not entirely sure on that subject

Thats the quick and dirty way
but i used to do it 
private delegate void SetOnFailedCallback(string title, string message);
private void OnFailed(string title, string message){
if(InvokeRequired){
Invoke(new OnFailedCallback(OnFailed), new object[]{string,message});
} else {
doStuff();
}
}

I'm a dirty boy
I never really looked in to the proper way of handling it I only started that practice recently within the past few months

Func<int> del = delegate()
{
textBox1.text = "Text here";
return 0;
};
Invoke(del);
or
delegate void SetTextCallback(string text);
private void SetText(string text)
{
if (textBox1.InvokeRequired)
{
SetTextCallback d = new SetTextCallback(SetText);
textBox1.Invoke(d, new object[] { text });
}
else
textBox1.Text = text;
}

Hey guys - thanks for that, but I am now even more confused...
Tried, didn't do anything - I had bool checkforillegalcrossthreads = false; at the top of my project.
VS didn't like the OnFailedCallback part, nor the string in the new object
This just confused me completely Didn't know where to start...I replaced textbox1 with bikedet (the one causing the problem) but the error still popped up
