Hello,

I am working on an add-in that displays contents from a file on disk. I would like to update Excel automatically when the file content changes. The notification can be obtained as an event from the FileWatcher class (in System.IO).

However, the event will be raised in a different thread. What is the easiest way to call Excel to update all formulas in its own main thread ?
