Neat way of calling InvokeRequired and Invoke

Question

I seem to remember seeing some neat way of calling InvokeRequired and Invoke to avoid repeating too much code in every event handler but I can't remember what that was.
So does anyone know a neat way of writing that code?

Preferably for VB.Net 2005.

Answer 1

One way to streamline it is to use the method described in Roy Osherove's Blog (keep in mind it requires using a custom DLL):

[RunInUIThread]
protected virtual void DoSomeUIStuff()
{
  this.Text = "hey";
}

Answer 2

The SO question here addresses this issue from a C# perspective, and any of the answers can probably be tailored to VB easily enough.

Although my answer wasn't the accepted one, I find using MethodInvoker anonymous method approach to be the most straightforward.

Hope this helps.
