This one has me a little confused. I have a simple messaging program that allows users to send messages to each other using UDP. When a new message arrives the user is alerted by a flashing button. When I enable the timer from within the UDP1_EndReceive event the timer becomes "enabled" but never executes it's tick event code. If I start the timer using a button on the form (as a test) it works fine. I only seem to have trouble with it if it's started out of the UDP1_EndReceive event or a sub that that event calls. Any ideas?

Hi,
The asynch events fire on their own thread, not on the UI thread.
Is Udp.SynchronizingObject set to the form on which the Timer resides?
Thanks,

I'm not sure what Udp.SynchronizingObject is. Is there an example of using it in the help file? Speaking of which, is there a way to search the Online Help? When I click Search it takes me to http://msdn.microsoft.com/ which is not helpful.
