SYMPTOMS
When you activate a managed class that is derived from a System.EnterpriseServices.ServicedComponent (ServicedComponent) object, you may receive an "E_INVALIDARG" exception of type 0x80070057.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when you activate a managed class that is derived from a ServicedComponent object. When a Microsoft Component Object Model (COM)-based single threaded apartment (STA) thread terminates, the references that the thread contained to COM objects are de-referenced and revoked. When new objects are activated, the managed common language runtime starts its asynchronous finalization routine. References may be maintained to the revoked STA COM-based objects. When the common language runtime tries to remove references to these STA COM-based objects, you may receive an "E_INVALIDARG" exception because the objects have already been revoked.
