Neat way of calling InvokeRequired and Invoke

Question

I seem to remember seeing some neat way of calling InvokeRequired and Invoke to avoid repeating too much code in every event handler but I can't remember what that was.
So does anyone know a neat way of writing that code?

Preferably for VB.Net 2005.

One way to streamline it is to use the method described in Roy Osherove's Blog (keep in mind it requires using a custom DLL):

[RunInUIThread]
protected virtual void DoSomeUIStuff()
{
  this.Text = "hey";
}

For now I'm really looking for something without any external dependencies, but an interesting option, so thanks. – Hans Olsson Apr 30 '10 at 13:45

The SO question here addresses this issue from a C# perspective, and any of the answers can probably be tailored to VB easily enough.

Although my answer wasn't the accepted one, I find using MethodInvoker anonymous method approach to be the most straightforward.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I think this is what I was thinking of, though since VB2005 don't support anonymous methods I can't use it for this project. – Hans Olsson Apr 30 '10 at 21:22
