Threading

[krispaks]

im planning to create a datagridview that will check the database every 5 seconds...

i want to implement it using a timer and inside the timer_tick event handler i will call the method that will check the database... the method will be inside a thread... and i want to return the value to the class itself...

im using a databinding source for the datagridview here...

not that much oriented with threading yet... so im kinda having some problem in implementing this... need some help...

You should use a BackgroundWorker. You call its RunWorkerAsync method, do the work in the DoWork event handler and if you need to update the UI afterwards do so from the RunWorkerCompleted event handler.
