You need a delegate of type SendOrPostCallback. Which is pretty awkward, it only takes a single argument of type object. You definitely ought to look at the Task<> class available in .NET 4 to make this easier. Or use a lambda, like this:

        string conn_name = "foo";
        uiContext.Post(new SendOrPostCallback((o) => {
            updateConnStatus(conn_name, true);
        }), null);

The code between the { braces } executes on the UI thread.
