Hi Christian
BeginInvoke on the desktop framework does the same thing (i.e. utilise a
thread from the ThreadPool)... If the framework works as advertised you
should find that the pool reuses threads rather than creating new ones each
time... Note that unlike the desktop framework, the number of threads on CF
is not limited to 25... Anyway I use this technique with no problems...
Alternatively you may wish to check out
http://www.develop.com/compactframework/ and in particular the "UI Safe
Invoker" under samples... Never used it myself but looks promising...
Cheers
Daniel
