BackgroundWorker problems with VSTO

BackgroundWorker problems with VSTO

  That link is dead for me.

  That article you mention is exactly what I *am* doing.
  The thread executing the event handler for work completed is the background thread that was used to execute the do work, not the UI thread.
  
  The article is of no further help, the bug (I am assuming - of course my code can't be wrong :p) seems to be how the backgroundworker executes differently whether in a winform or within Word.

  Using the information that you provided I too reproduced the behavior that you mentioned.

  In my tests, I was simply trying to add text to a textbox control on the second user control and I also received a "Cross-thread error".

  I was able to workaround the error and set the text property of the text box by using code from the following help topic

  Hope this helps!
