A little snippet that might help anyone using the MVVM pattern. If we want to marshal something through to the Dispatcher Thread from a view model we can do the following within the ViewModel class…
private void SendingToTheDispatcherThread()
{
Dispatcher dispatcher = Application.Current.Dispatcher;
if (!dispatcher.CheckAccess())
{
dispatcher.BeginInvoke((Action)(() =>
{
// put code for the dispatched here
}));
}
else
{
// put code for the dispatched here
}
}
