web browser in RC

[thomasp]

I have a windows form that was built in VB2005 Beta2 that contains three web
browser controls. It worked fine in VB Beta2 but in the RC is gives the
following error:

An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for
details. The error is: ActiveX control
'8856f961-340a-11d0-a96b-00c04fd705a2' cannot be instantiated because the
current thread is not in a single-threaded apartment.

Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Thomas

Dear Thomas,

You should put the [STAThread] attribute on the Main() in order to run in
STA.

Hope this will solve your problem,

Can someone tell me how to put the STAThread attribute on the Main()...

Thanks,

Thomas

Dear Thomas,

ofcours we can!

<STAThread()>
Shared Sub Main()
Application.Run(New HelloFrm())
End Sub

However, please note, that with some clicks in google, you could easily find
this info too.

Thanks for the reply. My project starts with a splashscreen form, but I
guess all I have to do is add a sub main and start with it. I will give
this a try.

Thanks,

Thomas
