SYMPTOMS
When you make a call to the Control.Invoke method from a Microsoft Windows Forms-based application in the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (SP1), the application may stop responding. Typically, this problem occurs on computers that have multiple processors. Additionally, you may experience this problem when you use the following controls in the application:
 * DateTimePicker

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem when you use the DomainUpDown control or the NumericUpDown control in the application, follow these steps:  Derive a class that inherits from the DomainUpDown control from or the NumericUpDown control.  Declare a new Private method. Name the method UpdateEditTextBase. To do this, use the following code. private void UpdateEditTextBase {       base.UpdateEditText; }   Override the UpdateEditText method in your inherited class. To do this, use the following code. protected override void UpdateEditText {       Invoke(new MethodInvoker(UpdateEditTextBase)); }
