Async updates of Windows Forms controls

Derick Bailey published this nice extension method to simplify the invokation of  Windows Forms controls outside the UI thread.

public static class ControlExtensions
{  
	public static void Do<TControl>(this TControl control, Action<TControl> action)    
		where TControl: Control  
	{    
		if (control.InvokeRequired)      
			control.Invoke(action, control);    
		else      
			action(control);  
	}
}

It's a simple extension method that allows any UI control to update itself when called from an asynchronous method - whether it's running from a .BeginInvoke() call, a BackgroundWorker, a ThreadPool thread, or any other form of asynchronous call. Simple, clean and useful.

Thanks Derick!
