Hello,

I wasn't getting this error until I threw my code, which initiated/called my

Form to load, into a try/catch statement.

"Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE

calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute

marked on it."

I don't have a Main function in my code for my COM add-in for Outlook, so

how would I go about fixing this error so that I can load my Form.

Thanks
 
That error usually occurs in relation to WordMail objects in Outlook 2003 or

earlier. In that case WordMail is not running in the same process space as

Outlook is and the threading is different. It also can happen from

background threads (which never, ever should be used to access the Outlook

object model).

Your Connect class is running in process with Outlook and in the same

thread. You would need to set up a callback into the main thread. I usually

get the current thread context in Connect, at NewInspector() and

NewExplorer(). Often to prime the message pump I call

System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents() before I get the context so it

isn't null.

I then store that context and put any thread sensitive code in Connect so it

runs in the main thread. When I need to synch to that thread I use a

System.Threading.SendOrPostCallback utilizing the persisted main thread

context.
