Create a new UserControl, add your control and format it (maybe dock = fill) and add a property. now configure the property to invoke the usercontrol and update your element, each time you change the property form any thread you want!

thats my solution:

    private long value;
    public long Value
    {
        get { return this.value; }
        set
        {
            this.value = value;

            UpdateTextBox();
        }
    }

    private delegate void Delegate();
    private void UpdateTextBox()
    {
        if (this.InvokeRequired)
        {
            this.Invoke(new Delegate(UpdateTextBox), new object[] {});
        }
        else
        {
            textBox1.Text = this.value.ToString();
        }
    }

on my form i bind my view

viewTx.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Value", ptx.CounterTX, "ReturnValue"));
