.NET and Threads - PLease HELP!

[murfinp]

Hi

I have just started programming in JAVA - done plenty of C and VB. I need to write a forms based app in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. I have created the shell and have created a form that is invoked from a menu selection. So far so good but how do I

1) Start this form as a separate thread ... I cannot see how to do it!

and

2) Set up communication between this thread and the main form - I need to pass real time data back and forth.

Any help would be really appreciated - I'm struggling under a pile of JAVA books!

Thanks

Paul

Are you using J# in Visual Stuido?

If not, then why are you using Visual Studio as your IDE instead of Netbeans or Eclipse or BlueJay?

The reason I ask is because if you use Netbeans it sets up class structures pretty easily for you. You would be able to use these for what you are doing.

If you are actualy using java, and you want to do multi-threaded applications you will want to search for how to use "synchronized" with your functions.

I hope this helps some.
