C # Thread-safe Extension Method

Question

I may retreat, or really very close. Anyway, I'm SOL now. :)

I want to be able to use the extension method to set properties in a class, but this class may (or may not) be updated in a thread other than the UI, and inferred from the class that forces updates to the UI (which implements INotifyPropertyChanged, etc.). d.).

I have a class defining something like this:

public class ClassToUpdate : UIObservableItem
{
    private readonly Dispatcher mDispatcher = Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher;
    private Boolean mPropertyToUpdate = false;

    public ClassToUpdate() : base()
    {
    }

    public Dispatcher Dispatcher
    {
        get { return mDispatcher; }
    }

    public Boolean PropertyToUpdate
    {
        get { return mPropertyToUpdate; }
        set { SetValue("PropertyToUpdate", ref mPropertyToUpdate, value; }
    }
}

I have an extension method class defining something like this:

static class ExtensionMethods
{
    public static IEnumerable<T> SetMyProperty<T>(this IEnumerable<T> sourceList,
                                                  Boolean newValue)
    {
       ClassToUpdate firstClass = sourceList.FirstOrDefault() as ClassToUpdate;

       if (firstClass.Dispatcher.Thread.ManagedThreadId != 
           System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId)
        {
            // WHAT GOES HERE?
        }
        else
        {
            foreach (var classToUpdate in sourceList)
            {
               (classToUpdate as ClassToUpdate ).PropertyToUpdate = newValue;
               yield return classToUpdate;
            }
        }
    }
}

Obviously, I'm looking for “What's happening here” in the extension method.

Thanks, WTS

// ?

mDispatcher.Invoke(new Action(() => sourceList.SetMyProperty(newValue)));

, , , . CheckAccess:

if (firstClass.Dispatcher.CheckAccess())
{
    ...
}

- Intellisense... ,

, ... yield return , Invoke . :

public static IEnumerable<T> SetMyProperty<T>(this IEnumerable<T> sourceList, bool newValue)
    where T : ClassToUpdate
{
    Action<T> setProperty = t => t.PropertyToUpdate = newValue;

    foreach(var t in sourceList)
    {
        if (t.Dispatcher.CheckAccess())

            action(t);

public static IEnumerable<T> SetMyProperty<T>(this IEnumerable<T> sourceList, 
    bool newValue) where T : ClassToUpdate
