WPF : Dispatcher processing has been suspended, but messages are still being processed

Question

I Have a WPF Project, When i try to Run This Code On RowLoad Event I got below Error :

private void ParentGridView_OnRowLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        if(((RadGridView)sender).Columns != null)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(((RadGridView)sender).Columns.Count.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
}

Error : Dispatcher processing has been suspended, but messages are still being processed.

Note That the GridView Control is Telerik RadGridView

This answer describes the same situation as yours. (It references this answer on a different website).

The dispatcher processing is suspended to avoid reentrancy problems when updating the visual tree.

If you really need to display a message box in response to your "Row Loaded" event, you need to defer the call using `Dispatcher.BeginInvoke().

So, replace:

MessageBox.Show(((RadGridView)sender).Columns.Count.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)); 

with:

var msg = ((RadGridView)sender).Columns.Count.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => MessageBox.Show(msg))); 

If this code is in a WPF object, then the Dispatcher property is available. Otherwise, you need to get it from somewhere else.
