Invoke With Two Parameters Of Different Variable Types?

Question

How can I write an invoke method with two parameters of differing variable types?

    public void InsertStockPrice(double Value, string Company)
    {
        if (InvokeRequired)
        {
            Invoke(new Action<double>(InsertStockPrice), Value); // <- Not sure what to do here
        }
        else
        {
            //Do stuff
        }
    }

I think what you mean to be looking for is:

Action<Type1,Type2> yourAction = (type1Var, type2Var) => 
    {
       do stuff with type1Var and type2Var;
    }

yourAction(var1, var2);

I suspect this is what Jimmy meant (as Control.Invoke wouldn't really know what to do with an Action<double, string>:

public void InsertStockPrice(double value, string company)
{
    if (InvokeRequired)
    {
        MethodInvoker invoker = () => InsertStockPrice(value, company);
        Invoke(invoker);
    }
    else
    {
        // Do stuff
    }
}

If you're using C# 2:

public void InsertStockPrice(double value, string company)
{
    if (InvokeRequired)
    {
        MethodInvoker invoker = delegate { InsertStockPrice(value, company); }
        Invoke(invoker);
    }
    else
    {
        // Do stuff
    }
}

Note that I've changed the case of your parameters to fit in with normal .NET conventions.

If this pattern is often repeated in code, you can make little helper method like this one

static class UiExtensions
{
    public static void SafeInvoke(this Control control, MethodInvoker method)
    {
        if (control.InvokeRequired)
            control.Invoke(method);
        else
            method();
    }
}

this.SafeInvoke(() => { InsertStockPrices(value, company); });
