    public partial class MainWindow : DevExpress.Xpf.Core.ThemedWindow
    {
        delegate void SafeUpdate(string file);
        public MainWindow() {
            InitializeComponent();
            dashboardControl1.LoadDashboard("update_data_extract_dashboard.xml");
        }

        private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
            await dashboardControl1.UpdateExtractDataSourcesAsync(
                (fileName, result) => { OnDataReady(fileName); }, 
                (fileName, result) => { MessageBox.Show($"File {fileName} updated "); });
        }

        void OnDataReady(string fileName)
