Thanks Chris !

 that will do my cause... cheers

 I guess my post was a little premature, I have found my solution.

 
In the method that receives the event i will use

this.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { DisplayDesktopAlert(caption, message); });

 where the DisplayDesktopAlert method looks like,

private void DisplayDesktopAlert(string caption, string, message)

{

 this.DesktopAlert.Show(caption, message);

}

Thanks,

I apologize for bringing up this old thread, but I have a similar problem. and I'm hoping someone can offer a suggestion to help.

In my case, my form subscribes to an event from another object (this object runs on its own thread), when i receive the event i would like  display some data from the event args using the desktop alert, However, like the previous poster, the alert behaviour is the same.

Can you please suggest how I can return to the forms main thread from the event call and display the desktop alert.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

How to marshal the call across the thread boundries using form's BeginInvoke method??
