How To Access The User Interface Thread In Silverlight 2(gen5.info)

submitted by paul_houle(435) 3 years, 11 months ago

Silverlight 2 Beta 2 introduces a major change in the concurrency model for asynchronous communication requests. Unlike SL2B1, where asynchronous requests executed on the user interface thread, SL2B2 launches asynchronous callbacks on multiple threads. Although this model offers better performance and responsiveness, it requires Silverlight programmers to explicitly transfer execution to the UI thread before accessing UI objects: most SL2B1 applications will need to be reworked. This article introduces a simple static class, UIThread, which makes it easy to schedule execution in the UI Thread.
