    copied!<p>Here is the error message that I am recieving when I try to open an OpenFileDialog in my program:</p> <blockquote> <p>"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. This exception is only raised if a debugger is attached to the process."</p> </blockquote> <p>The problem with this error message is that my Main method DOES have the STAThread attribute attached to it. I am at a loss as to how to handle this. How can I add something if it is already there. Doubling it up is not a good option, and I tried erasing it, building the app, adding it and building it again with no success. I just don't understand.</p> <pre><code>private void btnOldFind_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { openFileDialog1.Multiselect = false; openFileDialog1.FileName = ""; openFileDialog1.ShowHelp = false; openFileDialog1.AutoUpgradeEnabled = true; openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = @"C:\"; openFileDialog1.Filter = "Microsoft Installer (*.msi)|*.msi|All Files (*.*)|*.* "; openFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 1; openFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true; if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { textBoxOldInstallation.Text = openFileDialog1.FileName; } } </code></pre> <p>and the main method is:</p> <pre><code>static class Program { /// &lt;summary&gt; /// The main entry point for the application. /// &lt;/summary&gt; [STAThread] static void Main() { Application.EnableVisualStyles(); Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); Application.Run(new Form1()); } } </code></pre> <p>And no threading is done explicitly. Just a pretty basic program to be honest.</p> <p>EDIT2::</p> <p>Here is the complete error message including call stack</p> <blockquote> <p>System.Threading.ThreadStateException was unhandled Message="Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made.
