That's one of the hallmarks of a threading issue - it happens intermittently. 

Thanks for the info Mike. I'll try to invoke the property change on main thread. I am not getting this exception frequently so i won't know if it fixed my issue for sure. :-)

Multithreading and databinding do not mix well. You cannot modify or even examine the data in the grid's DataSource (or even a BindingSource) on anything other than the UI thread safely. There's no way to do that, because you cannot properly marshal that communication across the threads since you are not in control of that communication. 

Mike,

I've similar issue with UltraWinGrid that I am binding to BindingList<MyClass>. It was working all fine until recently I added a couple of fields (Enum and string fields) to my class that I am updating in separate thread spawned by Task(TPL). I am not adding new items in DataSource itself but i am just changing data in BindingList and Ultragrid throws following error once out of 4-5 times I update the object. The dll version for UltraWinGrid is 13.1.20131.2124.

Also, I've changed my code as following recently to update the row display in case the object is modified in seperate thread.

 private void ultraGrid1_InitializeRow(object sender, InitializeRowEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                this.Grid.SuspendRowSynchronization();
                FileWatchConfiguration fwc = e.Row.ListObject as FileWatchConfiguration;

                if (!bInitializing)
                {
                    if (fwc != null)
                    {
                        SetStatusCellBackColor(fwc.Status, e.Row.Cells["Status"]);
                        this.Grid.DisplayLayout.PerformAutoResizeColumns(false, PerformAutoSizeType.AllRowsInBand);
                    }
                }               
            }
            finally
            {
                this.Grid.ResumeRowSynchronization();
            }
        }

Here is the exception I am seeing. Is there anything I can do to prevent the error? I am thinking about adding an unbound column and changing its content as part of ultraGrid1_InitializeRow. But, i don't want to add something silly like that if there is a better way to address it.
