从计划的代理保存图像时出现System.UnauthorizedAccessException

Question

I'm building a WP8 application that changes the background of the lockscreen using images from the Internet. I followed the tutorials over Scheduled Agents and Lockscreen, but I have a problem.

When I try to download the new background image from the Scheduled Agent, i get this:

+       $exception  {System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Invalid cross-thread access.
   at MS.Internal.XcpImports.CheckThread()
   at System.Windows.DependencyObject..ctor(UInt32 nativeTypeIndex, IntPtr constructDO)
   at System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage..ctor()
   at TileLockAgent.ScheduledAgent.lockScreenClient_OpenReadCompleted(Object sender, OpenReadCompletedEventArgs e)
   at System.Net.WebClient.OnOpenReadCompleted(OpenReadCompletedEventArgs e)
   at System.Net.WebClient.OpenReadOperationCompleted(Object arg)
   at System.Threading.WaitCallback.Invoke(Object state)
   at System.Threading.QueueUserWorkItemCallback.WaitCallback_Context(Object state)
   at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunInternal(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state, Boolean preserveSyncCtx)
   at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state, Boolean preserveSyncCtx)
   at System.Threading.QueueUserWorkItemCallback.System.Threading.IThreadPoolWorkItem.ExecuteWorkItem()
   at System.Threading.ThreadPoolWorkQueue.Dispatch()
   at System.Threading._ThreadPoolWaitCallback.PerformWaitCallback()}   System.Exception {System.UnauthorizedAccessException}

The code is:

string fileName;

try
{
    var currentImage = LockScreen.GetImageUri();

    if (currentImage.ToString().EndsWith("_1.jpg"))
    {
        fileName = "LockBackground_2.jpg";
    }
    else
    {
        fileName = "LockBackground_1.jpg";
    }
}
catch
{
    // lockscreen not set or prev owned by other app          
    fileName = "LiveLockBackground_1.jpg";
}

using (var isoStore = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
{
    var bi = new BitmapImage();
    bi.SetSource(e.Result);
    var wb = new WriteableBitmap(bi);
    using (var isoFileStream = isoStore.CreateFile(fileName))
    {
        var width = wb.PixelWidth;
        var height = wb.PixelHeight;
        Extensions.SaveJpeg(wb, isoFileStream, width, height, 0, 100);
    }
}

I really don't know how to solve this. How can I save an image in a scheduled agent if BitmapImage is not working? What does it mean that i'm doing "cross-thread access"? The images are created and used only by the scheduled agent, so no one should be accessing them.

The issue arises from the fact that BitmapImage cannot be instantiated outside of the UI thread. You can fix this issue by wrapping your calls in a Dispatcher Invoke call.

However, you need to make sure that you call NotifyComplete correctly. As such you may need to put NotifyComplete in the Dispatcher call.

  Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
    {
        UpdateSyncPictureName(...);
        NotifyComplete();
    });
