I got this error when trying to update an image. It was a cross-thread update, but I used .Invoke(), so that shouldn't be the problem, should it.
(Answering my own question, for others, and for future reference)
I think (not yet entirely sure) that this is because InvokeRequired will always return false if the control has not yet been loaded/shown. I have done a workaround which seems to work for the moment, which is to simple reference the handle of the associated control in its creator, like so:
var x = this.Handle;
(See http://ikriv.com:8765/en/prog/info/dotnet/MysteriousHang.html - down? cached version)
(Related question: Boiler plate code replacement - is there anything bad about this code?)
If the handle doesn't yet exist, you can force it by subclassing the control and calling CreateHandle
; however, the bigger question is: why are you doing things with a form that hasn't been loaded? Personally I'd only start such an operation after Load.
