Just raise an event. It will run on the wrong thread so whatever event handler has to deal with that by marshaling the call if necessary to update any UI. By using Control.Begin/Invoke or Dispatcher.Begin/Invoke, depending what class library you use.

Or use the BackgroundWorker class, it does it automatically.
