Because odds are today you're going to use a STA threaded COM component (or ActiveX control) in that EXE. The VS.NET templates make this assumption and play it on the safe side. If you're 100% positive you won't be using an STA threaded component, go ahead and remove the attribute all together. Keep in mind that most UI controls are apartment threaded and if you tried to use them without a message pump, then you're going to have problems. That said, most of the time you can remove the attribute on console apps, but rarely can you remove it on a WinForms app. HTH, Drew .NET MVP You can read messages from the Advanced DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from Advanced DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
