[STAThread]
       static void Main()
       {
           ApartmentState x =
Thread.CurrentThread.GetApartmentState();
           MessageBox.Show(x.ToString());
           // etc.
        }

Brings up a most annoying dialog box with my current three least
favorite letters in the English lanuage:

MTA

The previously described behavior results after the project was
upgraded from VS 2003 to VS 2005 ... I looked through the
project/solution settings but can not find anything that would seem to
"override" the [STAThread] attribute. Trying to set the apartment state
to STA results in another exception.

I'm probably missing something stupid - anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
