Thanks for your help.  Your last point really answered my question -
confirming my suspicions really.
I was suprised how easy the fix was.
My serial port class did not need to be changed - it still raises the
event and this is consumed by the UI, however instead of just doung
stuff (updating the UI) in the event handler, I needed to use the C#
Conrol.Invoke method to pass the execution of this code to a function
running on the main UI thread.

I have not had formal OO training, so although I understand the
concepts, I'm often not sure of the correct terminology to describe
things..

If anyone else is having similar problems in C# I suggest taking a look
at Control.Invoke in MSDN.  (There are other variants of the Invoke but
I was working on the compact framework which does not have these).
Thanks again for your help
