How to pass the UI Dispatcher to the ViewModel

Question

I\'m supposed to be able to access the Dispatcher that belongs to the View I need to pass it to the ViewModel. But the View should not know anything about the ViewModel, so

Answer 1

If you're only needing the dispatcher for modifying a bound collection in another thread take a look at the SynchronizationContextCollection here http://kentb.blogspot.com/2008/01/cross-thread-collection-binding-in-wpf.html

Works well, only issue I found is when using View Models with SynchronizationContextCollection properties with ASP.NET synch context, but easily worked around.
