Form.Close() hangs when invoked from thread

Hi,

I have a windows form that starts another thread. When the thread's work is done, I want the thread to go ahead and close the form. To make it thread safe, what I did was the following:

//This is a delegate

privatedelegatevoidCloseFormSafely();

...

//This is in the thread that's defind in the form

this.CloseSafely();

}

...

//also in the form

privatevoid CloseSafely()

{

if (this.InvokeRequired)

{

CloseFormSafely d =newCloseFormSafely(CloseSafely);

this.Invoke(d);

}

else

{

this.Close();

}

}

While this works all fine in VS.Net 2003, it for some reason doesn't work in VS.Net 2005 when I run in debug mode. The execution stops and freaz at "this.Close();". I have to stop debugging to get out. Am I missing something here?

Please help!

Thanks!

Feng
