Must create DependencySource on same Thread as the DependencyObject

Question

I bind observable dictionary from view model to view. I use Caliburn Micro Framework.

View:

    <ListBox Name="Friends" 
             SelectedIndex="{Binding Path=SelectedFriendsIndex,Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
             SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedFriend, Mode=OneWayToSource, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
             Style="{DynamicResource friendsListStyle}"
             IsTextSearchEnabled="True" TextSearch.TextPath="Value.Nick"
             Grid.Row="2" 
             Margin="4,4,4,4"
             PreviewMouseRightButtonUp="ListBox_PreviewMouseRightButtonUp"
             PreviewMouseRightButtonDown="ListBox_PreviewMouseRightButtonDown" 
             MouseRightButtonDown="ListBox_MouseRightButtonDown"
             Micro:Message.Attach="[MouseDoubleClick]=[Action OpenChatScreen()]" >

Code from view model class.

Properties look like this:

public MyObservableDictionary<string, UserInfo> Friends
{
    get { return _friends; }
    set
    {
        _friends = value;
        NotifyOfPropertyChange(() => Friends);
    }
}

In Dispatcher timer I call every 3 seconds in seperate thread new service method.

So I constructor of view model I have this:

        _dispatcherTimer = new DispatcherTimer();
        _dispatcherTimer.Tick += DispatcherTimer_Tick;
        _dispatcherTimer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3);
        _dispatcherTimer.Start();

        _threadDispatcher = Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher;

And Timer tick method is here:

    private void DispatcherTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
    {
        new System.Threading.Tasks.Task(() =>
        {
            //get new data from server
            MyObservableDictionary<string, UserInfo> freshFriends = _service.GetFriends(Account);

            _threadDispatcher.BeginInvoke((System.Action)(() =>
            {
                //clear data, Friend is property which is binded on listobox control
                Friends.Clear();

                //here is problem - > refresh data
                foreach (var freshFriend in freshFriends)
                {
                    Friends.Add(freshFriend);

                }
            }));
        }).Start();

when I run app I get this error:

Must create DependencySource on same Thread as the DependencyObject.

I try replace dispatcher:

this _threadDispatcher = Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher;

with this: _threadDispatcher = Application.Current.Dispatcher;

But it doesn’t help. Thank for advice.

MyObservableDicionary is not dependency object or have dependecy property:

public class MyObservableDictionary<TKey, TValue> :
    IDictionary<TKey, TValue>,
    INotifyCollectionChanged,
    INotifyPropertyChanged
{..}

Answer 1

I encountered a similiar situation.

I bound an ObservableCollection of a class named Person to a datagrid, and Person.SkinColor is SolidColorBrush.

What I did was the following:

foreach (Person person in personData)
{
　PersonModel person= new Person( );
　......               
　personModel.SkinColor = new SolidColorBrush(person.FavoriteColor);
　personModel.SkinColor.Freeze();
　.....
}
