Understanding the Silverlight Dispatcher

I had a Invalid Cross Thread access issue, but a little research and I managed to fix it by using the Dispatcher. Now in my app I have objects with lazy loading. I'd make an Async call using WCF and as usual I use the Dispatcher to update my objects DataContext, however it didn't work for this scenario. I did however find a solution her...

Dispatcher.BeginInvoke problems

I'm getting "An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(System.Action)'" for this code. private void ResponseCompleted(IAsyncResult result) { HttpWebRequest request = result.AsyncState as HttpWebRequest; HttpWebResponse response = req...

logic before dispatcher + controller?

I believe for a typical MVC web application the router / dispatcher routine is used to decide which controller is loaded based primarily on the area requested in the url by the user. However, in addition to checking the url query string, I also like to use the dispatcher to check whether the user is currently logged in or not to decide ...

WPF Dispatcher.UnhandledException within a ShowDialog call.

It appears that ShowDialog() invokes the Dispatcher message handling loop within. Thus, you have a stack that looks something like: Outer-most Dispatcher message loop ... x.ShowDialog() Inner Dispatcher message loop ... I am using the Dispatcher.UnhandledException to catch exceptions not handled by my code. However, it appears that ...

WPF calls not working during long method processing

Hi, The following method does not apply the wpf changes (background = red) until the 2nd method (DoWork) exits: private void change() { Background = Brushes.Red; Dispatcher.BeginInvoke((Action) DoWork); } DoWork() takes several seconds to run and I don't really want to put it into a thread, as this code will be used in several...

Thread Management Object

I feel rather foolish as this is just a short question. I was reading about a bunch of thread management helper classes in .net, specifically one that aids the storage of threads to help a service manager object automatically invoke delegates onto the subscribing thread. I'm pretty sure it had something to do with creating dispatchers. ...

WPF Dispatcher timer tick freezes my application

I've got a little problem using WPF Dispatcher Timer. On each timer tick my application freezes for a moment (until timer tick method finishes).

WPF Background Thread Invocation

Maybe I'm mis-remembering how Winforms works or I'm overcomplicating the hell out of this, but here's my problem. I have a WPF client app application that talks to a server over WCF. The current user may "log out" of the WPF client, which closes all open screens, leaves only the navigation pane, and minimizes the program window. When th...

Component not listening to MainApp's state change

I don't know if this is too difficult or too easy. My custom component is trying to listen to the main application's state changes using StateChangeEvent.CURRENT_STATE_CHANGE, but it's reporting its own state changes. Any idea how I could do this? ...

WPF Dispatcher executing multiple execution paths

Ok, so I found something weird over the weekend. I have a WPF app that spawns off some threads to perform background work. Those background threads then Post work items to my Synchronization Context. This is all working fine except for one case. When my threads finish sometimes they will post an action onto the dispatcher that will open ...

DispatcherOperations.Wait()

What happens if you call dispatcherOperation.Wait() on an operation that has already completed? Also, the docs say that it returns a DispatcherOperationStatus, but wouldn't that always be Completed since it (supposedly) doesn't return until it's done? I was trying to use it like this: private void Update() { while (ops....

Dispatcher Timer Problem

I am trying to make a game in silverlight that also has widgets in it. To do this I am using a dispatcher timer running a game loop that updates graphics etc. In this I have a variable that has to be accessed by both by the constantly running game loop and UI event code. At first look it seemed that the gameloop had its own local copy...

Binding across multiple DispatcherObjects

Here is a really tricky scenario I have been confronted with. I have a static helper class that contains some dependency properties used as binding sources. My main Window binds to these properties to determine some visual aspects. Recently we have added the ability to measure the progress of long-running operations with a progress bar w...

Application.Current.Shutdown() vs. Application.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvokeShutdown()

First a bit of background: I have a WPF application, which is a GUI-front-end to a legacy Win32-application. The legacy app runs as DLL in a separate thread. The commands the user chooses in the UI are invoked on that "legacy thread". If the "legacy thread" finishes, the GUI-front-end cannot do anything useful anymore, so I need to shut...
