Thanks for the reply.
I created a invoke method.(Other case also working OK in test now.)
Using VS2008 .net version 3.5 I think..
Thanks a lot for the confirmation.

Theres a couple of considerations here. First you should usually get out of your data recieved event as quick as possible. Secondly, you need to marshal stuff onto the UI thread safely.
If its just doing something simple (like updating a label), then use BeginInvoke to update on the UI thread (plain Invoke will block whatever called your event handler).
Otherwise (say theres lots of processing / logging to a database) it may be worth sticking the data in a queue, and emptying the queue on another thread.

It is done. I am only updating a my own string buffer in the data received event of serial port. So no lags.
but..
Mark Churchill wrote: you need to marshal stuff onto the UI thread safely.
Actually after consecutively dumping the data in a buffer on every data received event I reset a timer count to detect a pause in stream to mark the end of a packet. When the packet stops I create or 'throw' a user event from the timer tick event handler method. Is there any inherent problem in this method?
from my custom event handling function I am using invoke method to update a few labels.
I have some more tasks in my datacomplete custome event like updating a data grid and loading into a buffer etc. Not huge database. I am moving into that only.

need to study that method.
Thanks a lot..

Keep in mind that raising an event isn't generally asynchronous. So it doesnt really "throw", it just calls and returns like any other method (unless you use delegate.begininvoke - which grabs a thread from the pool).
Also using BeginInvoke (control/form.begininvoke) on the UI thread sticks a token for the delegate in the windows message loop. If the message loop isn't pumping for some reason (say its been blocked) then they can queue up. This probably won't happen with serial data rates, but its something to keep in mind if you are updating the UI on a push based model, or if you are doing some complex graphics.

m..  new information for me..
reading articles...
will be back later. 
trying to grasp concepts. I am coming from a sequential programming experience with micro controllers. Beginner on windows programming.
Thank you.

Trust me, the micro experience is probably good for you  Having more of an understanding of what is happening at the hardware level will let you make better use of the tools. Theres too many beginning programmers that think some sort of magic is happening under the hood, and that things do exactly what the API implies. Theres no magic! .Net hides a lot of the more nasty implementation details from you, but it also makes it very easy to try and do the impossible.

use Process object with system.diagnostics.processstartinfo, capture output using redirect standard output, translate and use them
hope it helps

Any ideas?

I think the general premise here is that if you don't know about something, it's your choice to learn about it, or let someone who does know about it discuss it.
I'm having a similar issue with WatiN ("Could not find an IE window matching constraint") and was hoping someone might have provided a more enlightened answer.
Don't worry, nobody lives forever.

Well I have no idea what this component does.
But my huess by looking at the this line and your exception message is that, for whatsoever reason this url was not reachable or invalid. 
Please remember to rate helpful or unhelpful answers, it lets us and people reading the forums know if our answers are any good.

Hai,
Is it possible to capture the information of mailing activities and IM activity from various mail services using C# programming? if so please give me the solution
|
|
|
|
|
I think you can use Hook to find out the activity .
say you can monitor a yahoo IM by injecting a dll hook to it
all you need to know is the class which creates the yahoo main window

Well, given that you're in a C# forum, you could try posting about C# code ? Or go to the C++ forum ( Visual C++, NOT C++/CLI )

Hi all,
I have an .exe which is working fine. Now I have to make a schedular programatically which will invoke the .exe(console app) every day at 6.00PM and performs the operation and then quit after completing the job.
Kindly help me in doing that....
Thanks

Why don't you use windows scheduler ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
you can make a windows service which will create a process for your exe
eg:-
STARTUPINFO si = { sizeof(STARTUPINFO) };
si.dwFlags = STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
CreateProcess(NULL, _T("application path"), NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi);
