WPF update binding in a background thread
- by Mark
I have a control that has its data bound to a standard ObservableCollection, and I have a background task that calls a service to get more data.
I want to, then, update my backing data behind my control, while displaying a "please wait" dialog, but when I add the new items to the collection, the UI thread locks up while it re-binds and updates my controls.
Can I get around this so that my animations and stuff keep running on my "please wait" dialog?
Or at least give the "appearance" to the user that its not locked up?
