Hi,
I have the following problem.
On my map I have a visualization layer with an item template.
If I load the data synchronously, there is no problem. But if I changed zu async load, then I get the "Must create DependencySource on same Thread as the DependencyObject" Exception.

The problem is the first Layer with the items source binding to "Jobs".
I think the Path data causes the exception.
How can I load the data asyc?
Thank you

Hello Markus,
This is a common error that appears in WPF. The single thread model of the framework doesn't allow you to manipulate the main UI thread from another thread. In your case, if the data property is modified on a background thread while the property is data bound, the reported exception will occur. To avoid this error, you will need to schedule an update from the background thread to the UI thread. You can do this using a Dispatcher. For example:
public void UpdateDataOnBackgroundThread()
{
// Do calculations or whatever logic you need here.
// Then dispatch the modifications in the Jobs collection in the dispatcher's action
App.Current.MainWindow.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>
{
// Update the Jobs collection here
// For example: this.Jobs = myDataResults;
// Or: foreach (item in myDataResults) { this.Jobs.Add(item); }
}));

Hello Martin,
thank you for your reply. But I tried the Dispatcher before I wrote the post.
And that's not the solution. After your answer I've tried some things.
Now I was able to isolate the problem.
It's the following XAML part in the ItemTemplate:
<Path Stroke="{Binding StrokeColor, Mode=OneWay}"
Stretch="Uniform"
Fill="LightSlateGray"
Data="{Binding PathData, Mode=OneWay}" >
<ToolTipService.ToolTip>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding CustomerName, Mode=OneWay}" FontWeight="Bold"/>
<TextBlock>
<Run Text="{Binding UnitNumber, Mode=OneWay}"/>
<Run Text=" - "/>
<Run Text="{Binding UnitType, Mode=OneWay}"/>
</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Information, Mode=OneWay}"/>
<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding PositionInformation, Mode=OneWay}"/>
</StackPanel>
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>
</Path>
More precisely the binding to the stroke color and the path data is the problem.
If I replace the binding with a fixed color and a fixed data path, it works how expected.
Do you have any idea?
Thank you
Markus
Hello Markus,
In this case probably the PathData and StrokeColor properties are updated on a separate thread. You can double check this and add dispatchers also there if needed. If this doesn't help I can suggest you to open a new support ticket and attach a project the issue.

Hello Martin,
unfortunately, that doesn't work either.
I think it's because it's bound to objects in a observable collection.
Now I solved the problem with triggers in XAML.

Hello Markus,
My name is Dilyan and I'm stepping in for my colleague Martin who is currently out of office.
If I understood correctly, you've come across a solution which works for you. If I'm mistaken in this assumption or if you require any further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us again here, or open a new support ticket if you feel you need to send over a sample project.
