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
{..}
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();
.....
}
