Learning Takeaways (For those that are curious):

  • UI elements such as labels cant be updated if a method is changing it on a seperate thread. Use labelname.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => {//code goes here};); to get around this.

  • Becareful Instantiating a form object, they can lead to memory leaks if they are not disposed of properly.

  • Use cancellation tokens to cancel operations on different threads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKc5A3exKBQ

  • Using design patterns when making a program makes life a lot easier and simplier. I will be looking more into this topic.

  • To access a directory within a project solution use AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "()"; so that when the code is published, it will always reference the correct files no matter where program is installed.
