InvokeRequired for classes?

Earlier, I had a threading issue where I had to use the InvokeRequired to
get my controls to function properly.

Does InvokeRequired apply to my custom classes as well? That is, if I have
attempt to fire a method in a custom class as the result of an event raised
by a user control, and the method doesn't seem to fire, is that because I
have a threading problem again?

What do I have to do in this case? Implement ISynchronizeInvoke on my
custom class?

Thanks.

No. You only have to know if instances of your classes (or the shared
methods) are thread-safe. That's a design question how to ensure it.

Do you have some steps to reproduce the problem?

Well, actually...

The class whose method is failing to run is a Collection class, so there may
be a threading issue there. I haven't been able to make heads or tails of
the documentation on making collection classes thread-safe. Do you have any
links to a good article on this subject?

Also, if I happen to use Invoke anyway, will that cause problems?

Thanks.
