c# help needed error

Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'ocrTB' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.

This is the error i have. And below is my coding.

Any solution for this?

var processImagesDelegate = new ProcessImagesDelegate(ProcessImages2);
processImagesDelegate.BeginInvoke(files, null, null);

You are executing this delegate asynchronously in a different thread - are you sure that's what you want? That being the case you can use Control.Invoke() to update a UI control from another thread (the one your ProcessImages2 method is executed under) :

string text = rd2["Character"].ToString();
Action updateText = () => ocrTB.Text = text;
ocrTB.Invoke(updateText);

In general it would be easier to use a background worker to process your data and update it in the Completed event handler.

---

You cannot modify the UI in any thread other than the UI thread, ProcessImages2 in this example attempts to do this, you need to use Dispatcher.Invoke or just run ProcessImages2 in the same thread (i.e. don't do processImagesDelegate.BeginInvoke.

Also, posting a big chunk of code can be good, but try to give details on which line is throwing the error!

---

You need to marshal back to the other thread when trying to access controls on the UI from a new thread.. You can use Control.Invoke like such:

 someControl.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate
        {

            someControl.DoSomething();

        });
