//Perform on the worker thread
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  //Reference MapFrame
  MapFrame mf = layout.FindElement("Map Frame") as MapFrame;

  //Reference map, layers and create layer list
  Map m = mf.Map;
  FeatureLayer fl_1 = m.FindLayers("GreatLakes").First() as FeatureLayer;
  FeatureLayer fl_2 = m.FindLayers("States_WithRegions").First() as FeatureLayer;
  var layers = new[] { fl_1, fl_2 };
  //IEnumerable<Layer> layers = m.Layers;  //This creates a list of ALL layers in map.

  //Set the map frame extent to the selected features in the list of layers
  mf.SetCamera(layers, true);
});
