System.STAThreadAttribute

Method
Description
Specifies that the class or application to which the program element belongs is to use the single-threaded apartment model for COM interop. If COM components are not called from the class or application, the attribute is ignored. The <STAThread> attribute should be used only on the class or application's Main method or subroutine.
The <STAThread> attribute is similar to setting a Thread object's ApartmentState property to ApartmentState.STA . The difference is that the <STAThread> attribute creates a single-threaded apartment from startup, whereas setting the property does it only from the point that the property is set.
