SYMPTOMS
When you open multiple dialog boxes by using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET on a Tablet PC that is running Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, your Windows Forms application may stop responding (hang).



CAUSE
When a cross-process call occurs in the common language runtime and the apartment model for the common language runtime objects is set as multithreaded apartment (MTA), random threads are created that cause a deadlock situation. Therefore, Visual Studio .NET stops responding.

STATUS
