Multithreading in WPF using C # (with background worker)

Question

I wrote code to save the image created by the application. Image size is about 32-35 MB. Saving an image in a BMB file , it takes a lot of time, about 3-5 seconds. For this purpose, I used a background worker, but when I start the desktop it shows an error, for example ... "it is impossible to access the object because it was created in another thread."

Below is the code:

 private void btnSaveDesign_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Microsoft.Win32.SaveFileDialog sfd = new Microsoft.Win32.SaveFileDialog();
        sfd.Title = "Save design as...";
        sfd.Filter = "BMP|*.bmp";
        if (sfd.ShowDialog() == true)
        {
            ww = new winWait();
            ww.Show();
            System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker bw = new System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker();
            bw.DoWork += new System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventHandler(bw_DoWork);
            bw.RunWorkerCompleted += new System.ComponentModel.RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(bw_RunWorkerCompleted);
            fName = sfd.FileName;
            cache = new CachedBitmap((BitmapSource)imgOut.Source, BitmapCreateOptions.None, BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad);

            bw.RunWorkerAsync();


        }  
    }

    void bw_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, System.ComponentModel.RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
    {
        ww.Close();
    }

    void bw_DoWork(object sender, System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs e)
    {
        BmpBitmapEncoder encoder = new BmpBitmapEncoder();
        encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(cache)); //here... it says cant access...
        using (FileStream file = File.OpenWrite(fName))
        {
            encoder.Save(file);
        }
    }

I declared "cache" as a global object. (A similar trick worked when I was programming on Windows Forms with VB.NET.)

ww is the wait window that I want to display while the precession is running.

How to do it? Is there another simple multithreading method in WPF?

.

Dispatcher.Invoke
(
    new Action(
        delegate()
        {
            BmpBitmapEncoder encoder = new BmpBitmapEncoder();
            encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(cache));
            using (FileStream file = File.OpenWrite(fName))
            {
                encoder.Save(file);
            }
        }
    )
);

Answer 3

, :

bw.RunWorkerAsync(cache);

DoWork:

var cache=(CacheType) e.Argument;

.NET framework BackgroundWorker. . , . WinForms WPF. , , ; .
