From the CodeProject Article of Smart Thread Pool:

Also note that the .NET ThreadPool doesn't support calls to COM with single threaded apartment (STA), since the ThreadPool threads are MTA by design.

So I assume if you give the Smart Thread Pool a try, it could fit your requirements.

Personally, I use this class successfully since severals years.

So, how do we now flag the threads from this SmartPoolThread as STA?? Are these threads STA by default? – EagerToLearn Nov 01 '11 at 10:03
