A delegate is not a Delegate. W.T.G. Microsoft. This is sooo irritating, because this is probably the most appropriate conceivable use of an anonymous delegate. You'd think an anonymous method would allow us to keep it as simple as possible by calling control.Invoke( delegate{control.Enabled = true;} ), but behold... you run into the described error. Why doesn't the setter properties of the control just handle the invoke internally on it's own? I mean... it's like.. I'm just going to call that anyway, and if I was worried about blocking, I'd check the InvokeRequired property and take unblocking actions anyway. Wow. A delegate is not a Delegate. W.T.G. Microsoft.

I'll bet they will fix this one in a future release. John For what it is worth, this works without any special cast in Silverlight.

First of all I should thank you for you effort on writing this class. I added 'ProperyReflector' class to my website solution and everything got ok. But I have a small problem: I have a page that there are two TextBoxes and a Label on it. In textbox1 I enter the desired property and in the second the value of the property. After I click on a button on the page the value in the textbox2 is set for the property (in the textbox1) of the label. For a property like 'Width' I encounter an error that says that I can not convert a value of string to system.controls.unit As I noticed your example all properties are string and you didn't mention how to send other types variables to the SetValue method.
