Launching a WPF Window in a Separate Thread, Part 1
Typically, I strongly recommend keeping the user interface within an application’s main thread, and using multiple threads to move the actual “work†into background threads. However, there are rare times when creating a separate, dedicated thread for a Window can be beneficial. This is even acknowledged in the MSDN samples, such as the Multiple Windows, Multiple Threads* sample. However, doing this correctly is difficult. Even the referenced MSDN sample has major flaws, and will fail horribly in certain scenarios. To ease this, I wrote a small class that alleviates some of the difficulties involved.
