Fireforge / DeferredSynchronizeInvoke.cs

Last active March 2, 2018 17:43 — forked from JakubNei/DeferredSynchronizeInvoke.cs

Implementation of ISynchronizeInvoke for Unity3D game engine. Can be used to invoke anything on main Unity thread. ISynchronizeInvoke is used extensively in .NET forms, it's is elegant and quite useful in Unity as well. I implemented it so i can use it with System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.SynchronizingObject.
