Crash when grid updates

[User (Old forums)]

#16046 |

I’m currently evaluating the grid, and I am consistently running into a crash. My application typically keeps a large amount of data in memory in a dataset, and adds to the dataset as more data comes in. The processing of this data runs on a background thread, and new rows are added to the dataset from this same thread. I have seen what looks like the same crash in several other threads in this forum, with the root cause most probably  being updating the grid from a background thread. While I am not calling Refresh from the background thread, I believe the problem is adding the rows to the dataset from the non-GUI thread, which is causing the ListChanged event to be raised in the context of the non-GUI thread, which then causes the grid to refresh itself. Can you confirm this behavior, or offer any other comments?

The problem is exactly what you suspected. You shouldn’t update the DataSet to which the grid is bound from an other thread.

Here, if you want to update the DataSet, you should invoke a method from the UI thread that updates it.

OK, thanks for the answer. I’m actually surprised you don’t see this more often…
