Update DataGridView cells from different thread in C# winforms

Question

How can I update each DataGridView cell from a different thread? Basically, I have 3 threads (main thread "winform", thread 1 and thread 2), moreover, thread 1 and thread 2 are in different class (class 2) and main thread in class 1. I made this work in one class, but I couldn't do in different class. Please any help would be appreciated. Please see the code below which works in one class:

// THIS IS THE DESIGNER FORM CLASS
namespace DelegatesAndCallback
{
partial class class1
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Variable nécessaire au concepteur.
    /// </summary>
    private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;

    /// <summary>
    /// Nettoyage des ressources utilisées.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="disposing">true si les ressources managées doivent être supprimées ; sinon, false.</param>
    protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
        if (disposing && (components != null))
        {
            components.Dispose();
        }
        base.Dispose(disposing);
    }

this is class1 main thread

this is class2 where i would like to update the datagridview

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Threading;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace DelegatesAndCallback
{
class DelegateExample
{
    // Declaration
    public void Process1(){
      // HERE NEED TO HELP TO UPADTE/REFRESH AND SET DATEGRIDVIEW VALUE FROM CLASS1  
    }

    public void Process2(){
      // HERE NEED TO HELP TO UPADTE/REFRESH AND SET DATEGRIDVIEW VALUE FROM CLASS1  
    }
}
}

您要做的是将消息委托给拥有该控件的线程，以使其使用您发送消息的数据更新表单。
