I am trying to make a server class and receive messages from client and from the received msgs i need to update the UI/form , i have text box in the form1 which i need to be updated Below is my server class

public Socket s;
public IPAddress ipAd;
private Form1 form;
public serv (Form1 form)
{
this.form = form;
}
public serv()

foreach (IPAddress ip in host.AddressList)
{
if (ip.AddressFamily == AddressFamily.InterNetwork)
{
localIP = ip.ToString();
}
}
// use local m/c IP address, and
// use the same in the client
IPAddress ipAd = IPAddress.Parse(localIP);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Success: ip of server is set");
/* Initializes the Listener */
//TcpListener myList = new TcpListener(ipAd, 8001);
TcpListener myList = new TcpListener(ipAd, 1024);
/* Start Listeneting at the specified port */
myList.Start();

recieveClientMSGS();
/* clean up & TO Close the TCP Socket */

How to update the UI form From this class , I am able to receive the client messages but the UI Not able to update i tried below
this.form = new Form1();
this.form.responseText.Text = "ui Text Goes Here 1";
this.form.responseText.Refresh();
Please help me how to update the the responseText in the Form1 From this class.
Also how to open the socket to recieve next message from client --for that i calls this method again- recieveClientMSGS() is that a correct way ?
