APPLIES TO
- Microsoft COM+ 1.0, when used with:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 2
This article was previously published under Q298127
SYMPTOMS
If a COM+ component (Component1) is marked as single-threaded apartment (STA), when Component1 is instantiated by an STA thread that is not from the COM+ STA thread pool, Component1 is not created in the caller's thread. In other words, Component1 is bound with one of the threads from the COM+ STA thread pool.
CAUSE
When the object from Component1 is instantiated from an STA, the apartment of the caller's thread is only checked if it is in the COM+ STA thread pool. If possible, create all COM+ objects that live on STA threads in the caller's thread. This bug violates this COM+ rule.
