datagridview adding rows from a thread

hi,

I'm trying to test threading using datagridview.
The scenario is:

1- A form has (button1), (datagridview1).
2- Once I click (button1) a thread will start and start adding rows until I click again the (button1).

I did it like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Threading;


private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            

            Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(WorkThreadFunction));
            if (thread.ThreadState == ThreadState.Running)
            {
                thread.Abort();
                return;
            }
            thread.Start();
        }
public void WorkThreadFunction()
        {
            try
            {
                dataGridView1.Rows.Add(new object[] { "test" });

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
        }

But unfortunately, it didn't work and I got an error:
Cross-thread operation not valid



Please help me with an easy tips (edit my code if you can) because I'm not that much experienced with such things.


Thanks,
