Invoke() is blocking

Question

From time to time my applications GUI stops redrawing. There a lot of threads that are firing all kinds of events (like timers or network data ready etc.). Also there are a lot

Answer 1

Deadlock perhaps? Do you make sure that the events are never fired while holding a lock?

Are you able to see this with a debugger attached? If so, make it freeze and then hit the "pause" button - and see what the UI thread is doing.

Note that if you are able to get away with BeginInvoke instead of Invoke, life is a bit easier as it won't block.

Also note that you don't need the "new EventHandler" bit - just

Invoke((EventHandler) MyEventHandler, sender, e);

should be fine.
