WPF - update "System.Windows.Controls.Image" from another thread

Question

I get this exception from this code. How to fix it?

Excepton:

The calling thread cannot access this object because it belongs to another thread.

the code:

    void CamProc_NewTargetPosition(IntPoint Center, System.Drawing.Bitmap image)
    {
        IntPtr hBitMap = image.GetHbitmap();
        BitmapSource bmaps = Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(hBitMap, IntPtr.Zero, Int32Rect.Empty, BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions());

        Dispatcher.BeginInvoke((Action)(() =>
        {
            labelX.Content = String.Format("X: {0}", Center.X); //OK Working
            labelY.Content = String.Format("Y: {0}", Center.Y); //OK Working
            pictureBoxMain.Source = bmaps; // THERE IS EXCEPTON
        }), DispatcherPriority.Render, null);

    }

pictureBoxMain is System.Windows.Controls.Image.

Answer 1

You can freeze BitmapSource so that it can be accessed from any thread:

void CamProc_NewTargetPosition(IntPoint Center, System.Drawing.Bitmap image)
    {
        IntPtr hBitMap = image.GetHbitmap();
        BitmapSource bmaps = Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(hBitMap, IntPtr.Zero, Int32Rect.Empty, BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions());
        bmaps.Freeze();

        Dispatcher.BeginInvoke((Action)(() =>
        {
            labelX.Content = String.Format("X: {0}", Center.X);
            labelY.Content = String.Format("Y: {0}", Center.Y);
            pictureBoxMain.Source = bmaps;
        }), DispatcherPriority.Render, null);

    }

Answer 2

You can freeze the image, as suggested in another thread, which gets rid of the flow restriction, but makes the image unchanged.
