I'm building a WPF application. I'm doing some async communication with the server side, and I use event aggregation with Prism on the client. Both these things results in new threads to be spawned which are not the UI thread. If I attempt to do "WPF operations" on these callback and event handler threads the world will fall apart, which...

The callback will hence not be run in the UI thread, and as I need to do some WPF stuff there (create InkPresenter object) I need it to be run on the UI thread.
