Form gets disposed somehow

I have a client-server application, in which I use classic Sockets and threads for receiving/sending data and listening for clients.

The application works fine, but after some random time I get the ObjectDisposedException:

System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a disposed object.
Object name: 'MainForm'.
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.MarshaledInvoke(Control caller, Delegate method, Object[] args, Boolean synchronous)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke(Delegate method, Object[] args)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke(Delegate method)

That code is called from client Socket thread and I use Invoke() method to run the code on UI thread.

I'm sure that I don't manually dispose the form nor using Close() (form is closed by user clicking Close button), so I don't know what could cause its disposing.

Edit: Exception isn't thrown during Form closing - it happens totally randomly.

I had a similar problem, I was just hiding a form and never closing it or disposing it.

The root cause of the form being disposed was due to a DialogResult of a Cancel button that actually was forcing the form Close and then the dispose was implicit.

To overcome this i just removed the DialogResult beaviour from the form.

Have you tried overriding the Dispose method and putting a break point in there? The callstack would probably give you an indication of why/where it is being disposed.
