Reading form properties on a background worker thread.

In a multithreaded windows form application I know that if I'm changing any
UI aspect of a form that I must do it on the same thread that created it.
But, what about reading these properties? Are form properties safe to read
from a different thread?

Cheers

No. You'll have to use 'Control.Invoke'/'Control.BeginInvoke', ...
 
Thanks Herfried,

one more question though. Is it possible to declare a delegate that maps to
a property get or set?
