Hi,

When i'm using the below code for Browse Button.

C#

if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    textBox1.Text = openFileDialog1.FileName;
}

I'm getting the below error:

Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it. This exception is only raised if a debugger is attached to the process

.

Solution 1

Add the STAThreadAttribute attribute on the Main method.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.stathreadattribute(vs.71).aspx[^]

For example,

C#

[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    // rest of the code goes here
}

Did you read the link that I sent you?

Even a win form application, in program.cs file you can find the main method. see how it define. Did you do any changes there?

I solved myself by using the below code:
private void btnBrowseFile_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
}
