Hello all,
I have a VERY simple windows application that decrypts data files we receive
from a partner. The decryption is handled by a COM component our partner
provided us with (thus we have no control over its functionality). That,
however, works fine. To make it a little easier for our end users, I wanted
to include a feature that places the path and name of the decrypted file on
the clipboard. I was going to do this by using
Clipboard.SetDa taObject(sNameP ath). However when I run the application, I
receive an error stating:
"The current thread must set to Single Thread Apartment (STA) mode before
OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttrib ute
marked on it."
The error occurs on the Clipboard.SetDa taObject line. I don't have a 'Main'
function (I tried putting a Main sub in with a Application.Run (Form1) and
mark it with the <STAThreadAttri bute> but with no change).
I built another windows app just to test the Clipboard.SetDa taObject and it
worked just fine...
I would be very grateful for some insight. I don't absolutely need this
feature, it just bugs me that it's not working and I don't know why.
Thanks,
Roy Gunnarsson

Roy,
What kind of application is this? (Windows Forms, Windows Service, Console)
Are you attempting to use any async processing? (Begin*, ThreadPool)
VB.NET by default will make your main form STA, you should not need to add
it.
Is your program a single form, can you post a simple example that has the
problem, preferable on a website, however if its a small zip file you can
attach it here.
Hope this helps

You are calling Application.Run from main sub. Take a good look at the code.
That's where you have to set STA model.
Also check project properties, if I remember correctly, there is something
there related to STA/MTA too.

I have converted a VB6 application to VB.NET. The old application
made extensive use of the Clipboard for copying an Image Name so that
it could be pasted into the image capture app when the user scans the
image. My applications run as compiled assemblies from our Intranet
server and I have setup a Main sub routine in the application with the
following line:
<STAThread()> Public Sub Main()
Note: There is no timer in this application.

Hi,
No matter what I have in clipboard Clipboard.GetDataObject(); returns null.
I suspect it might be a problem with Vista or VS2008 IDE debug mode problem?
Is there any way to track why the following statement is always null?
IDataObject iData = Clipboard.GetDataObject();
Thank you,

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
