I have a worker thread spawned from a GUI (for GUI performance), how do I access GUI, such as spawning new windows/widgets from the thread itself?

I tried using delegates but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas? Possibly examples? Thank you.

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More

Compared to windows (7) on dual… >>> More
