I think you should change your BeginInvoke to just Invoke . You need to get it on the UI thread, not begin an async operation. Otherwise your lock could get released before the BeginInvoke target gets invoked because control is returned immediately upon calling BeginInvoke .
Calling Invoke will block that thread on that call until the Invoke target completes then return control back to your thread, which will ensure the lock is kept.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
