this is a common problem in multithreaded applications. Forgetting to terminate the thread before you dispose of the class the thread is contained in will result in the error you got because the thread is trying to use a disposed class. You must make sure that the thread is terminated before the class is deleted (either out of scope closed deliberately or removed from a collection will dispose the object.)
