If we make a thread STA like this: Thread.SetApartmentState(STA);
then it cannot run code marked with [MTAThread]
attribute.
We have seen [STAThread]
in windows and console applications but I have never seen code with [MTAThread]
attribute and don't know which .NET libraries use this attribute.
My question is what are the limitations of a thread with apartment state set to STA, in compare to threads with MTA apartment state (natural .NET threads) ?
