[STAThread] - What is it for?

Hi,

I think my subject makes it crystal clear...... when I create a new WindowsApplication in C#, i get the following code: -

Code:

---

/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
        Application.Run(new Form1());
}

---

What is the [STAThread] for? What does it do? Is it really useful or just some compiler rubbish or something?

Will be real grateful if somebody could help me out on this one.

Thanks,
DJ

An COM interopibilty (sp?) thing. It means tun in a Sinlge apartment thread like COM used to. But you dont have that limittion anymore with .NET so unless you have to do some COM stuff, you dont need it.
