SafeInvoker

SafeInvoker helps ensure your WPF and WinForms code interacts with UI elements safely and correctly.
It provides a Fody-powered method attribute and a clean extension API for thread-safe UI invocation.

Free to use for personal and commercial projects. This package is closed source.

Features

  • ✅ [WPF.SafeInvoke] attribute for automatic thread safety on WPF methods
  • ✅ [Forms.SafeInvoke] attribute for WinForms control methods
  • ✅ Extension methods for DispatcherObject.SafeInvoke(...) (WPF)
  • ✅ Extension methods for Control.SafeInvoke(...) (WinForms)
  • ✅ Prevents InvalidOperationException from unsafe UI thread access
  • ✅ Supports nested and re-entrant dispatcher or control thread invocation

🚀 Usage Examples

1. WPF – Auto-Safe Method Invocation via Attribute

public class MyViewModel : DispatcherObject
{
    [WPF.SafeInvoke]
    public void UpdateUI()
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Running on UI thread: {Dispatcher.CheckAccess()}");
    }
}

2. WPF – Manual SafeInvoke with Lambda

myWindow.SafeInvoke(w =>
{
    w.Title = "Updated safely from any thread!";
});

3. WinForms – Auto-Safe Method Invocation via Attribute

public class MyForm : Form
{
    [Forms.SafeInvoke]
    public void UpdateLabel()
    {
        myLabel.Text = "Thread-safe update";
    }
}

4. WinForms – Manual SafeInvoke with Lambda

myLabel.SafeInvoke(lbl =>
{
    lbl.Text = "Safe call from any thread";
});

5. Invoke with Action Delegate (WPF or WinForms)

(() => myWindow.Close()).SafeInvokeOn(myWindow.Dispatcher); // WPF
(() => myForm.Close()).SafeInvokeOn(myForm); // WinForms

🔐 Why SafeInvoker?

  • Eliminates brittle dispatcher/control checks in your code
  • Boosts reliability when using background tasks or async events
  • Protects against subtle UI crashes from cross-thread access
  • Works well in MVVM ViewModels, Forms, and controls

📦 Supported Platforms

  • .NET Framework 4.8
  • .NET Framework 4.8.1
  • .NET 6+ (Windows only)

🧪 Works Great With

  • ✅ CycleKit – round-robin async queues
  • ✅ AutoYumYum – DI via attributes
  • ✅ TransactionAction – chained atomic operations
  • ✅ MVVM, BackgroundWorker, DispatcherTimer, Task.Run(...), event handlers

✍️ Installation

  1. Install Fody and MethodDecorator.Fody
  2. Add [assembly: Interceptor] to your AssemblyInfo.cs
  3. Add [WPF.SafeInvoke] or [Forms.SafeInvoke]~~~~ to your method
