Question

Currently my GUI is Freezing when I try to display data I read from my socket. It’s not freezing when i display one, or two messages, only when I receive many messages(2-3 per sec). I am using async socket(non blocking). I guess it’s related to how I display the data to the gui. Code:

public class Globals
{

     public static MainDialog myDialog;
}

public partial class MainDialog : Form
{
    public MainDialog()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        Globals.myDialog = this;

    }
    public void sendText(string text)
    {
         logBox.AppendText(text);
         logBox.AppendText("\n");
    }
}

Then I simply call Globals.myDialog.sendText(..) from my network class. As I said it works fine, but not when I receive many messages at once.

Anyone have an Idea?

Also remember to check for InvokeRequired when calling updates to gui controls from other threads.
