I recently did something very similar.  I used a separate thread to 
receive messages and then called Application.Invoke so that the thread 
could safely place the received text in a TextView buffer.

Instead of using an event, the thread that receives message text simply 
receives data from a socket and when a line has been entered, 
Application.Invoke is called.  If you're using UDP rather than TCP, it 
would be very similar.  The text buffer has global scope so that it can 
be accessed from within the thread.

I hope that helps.
