C# - COM Interop Threading Modal

[Jim Brooke]

Here is the deal. I have a C# assembly that needs to be called from an
global.asa in ASP. The problem is that when I try adding it to the
Application object I get a message complaining that it can't add an object
with threading modal set to STA/MTA. So my question is how can I change the
threading modal to Free Threaded?

Thanks

Use the MTAThread attribute.

But that only has affect on the method level. The solution (if you want to
call it that) I used was not trying to stick it in the Application object
and instead just make this call in the global.asa:

<object id="oFree" scope="application" progid="COMObject.NetObject"
runat="server"></object>

This worked great!

Thanks.
