C# Programming :: Access method variables/functions from Event call


	Access method variables/functions from Event call Ok i understand the fact that once events are raised they are executed on another thread and have no access to member functions or variables because they are static functions. But i am having trouble how i can Invoke these methods from the static method. Can anyone help me out here? :) TIA! Ahmed, This isn't true. Events are executed on the thread that they are raised on. When the events are fired on another thread, it is because they are raised on that thread. Also, event handlers can be static methods, or instance methods. You can attach an event handler to an instance method, and then access all the members of that instance in the event handler (since it is just another member). So instead of attaching to a static method, why not attach to an instance method which has access to the members you need? -- - Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP] - m@spam.guard.caspershouse.com "Ahmed" <ahme@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1181078169.494078.139290@x35g2000prf.googlegroups.com... - Hide quoted text - > Ok i understand the fact that once events are raised they are executed > on another thread and have no access to member functions or variables > because they are static functions. > But i am having trouble how i can Invoke these methods from the static > method. > Can anyone help me out here? :) > TIA! wow you are right! Ok my book on C# is really misleading and all its templates are based on static functions which led me to believe it HAD to be a static function.
