You can add them while on a background thread via:
Form.Invoke
or
Form.BeginInvoke
which are required to marshall the call from a background thread to a main UI thread. However I'm pretty sure BackgroundWorker offers an event that automatically gets called on the Foreground thread and you should be able to update on this event without any problems. This is "ProgressChanged" which can be fired by the background worker process by calling ReportProgress.
Have you tried calling .Refresh()
on the listbox as well?
