System.InvalidOperationException

I keep getting this error System.InvalidOperationException on the first line of the showInterface function:
progressbar_canvas.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
This is my code:
Code Blockusing System;

{

{
this.InitializeComponent();
// Insert code required on object creation below this point.
newDate.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy:MM:dd hh:mm:ss");
}
private void WindowLauncher(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
//ofd.Multiselect = true;
ofd.Filter = "Afbeeldingen (*.jpg, *.jpeg)|*.jpg*;*.jpeg|Alle bestanden|*.*";
if (ofd.ShowDialog() == true)
{
string filePath = ofd.FileName;
string safeFilePath = ofd.SafeFileName;
string filePath2 = filePath.Substring(0, filePath.LastIndexOf("\\"));
photoDir.Text = filePath2;
}
}
private void showInterface()
{

heart_design.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}

exiftool.Start();
}
private void exiftool_Exited(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Exited");
try
{
this.showInterface();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("oException" + ex.Message + "\n helplink:" + ex.HelpLink + "\n" + ex.StackTrace + "\n type:" + ex.GetType().ToString());
}
}

I'm new to c# and I've Googled this problem, but I can't seem to figure out what's wrong.
Any help?

- 0It would be useful to include the full stacktrace of the exception in the future. My guess however is that
the event is being fired from a thread other than the UI/Dispatcher thread and therefore you will need to marshal the call back to the Dispatcher thread using this.Dispatcher.Invoke.
You can check this out really quick by calling this.CheckAccess() in the Exited event handler. If it's false then my guess is right, if it's true then we will need the details of the exception to figure out exactly what is wrong.
HTH,
