RESOLUTION
This hotfix adds a new configuration setting to the Machine.config file. After you install the hotfix, the following application configuration is available.
<httpRuntime apartmentThreading="true|false" />,
By default,
apartmentThreading is set to
false. If you set
apartmentThreading to
true, the following behavior occurs:
- All Session_Start events run on STA threads that correspond to the session ID, regardless of the target page or the handler.
- All Session_End events run on STA threads that correspond to the session ID.
- AspCompat becomes set to true for all pages, except for the pages that have AspCompat set explicitly to false.
Note You can still run the
Session_Start event on the STA thread after you apply this hotfix if
apartmentThreading is set to
false and
AspCompat is set to
true for the target page.
This hotfix works for STA objects that are stored directly in session state. This hotfix also works for an STA object that is nested one level deep such as a .NET object that is stored in session state and that has a reference to an STA object. However, this hotfix does not work for STA objects that are stored more than one level deep.
Important This hotfix contains two types of packages: a Microsoft Windows Installer package, and an Optional Component Manager package (OCM). If you use Microsoft Windows Server 2003, you must specify that you require the Windows Server 2003 (OCM) update, because Windows Server 2003 File Protection monitors the .NET Framework 1.1 files. If you use an operating system other than Windows Server 2003, you must continue to use the Windows Installer package.
The OCM version of this hotfix is available in the following languages:
- English (ENU)
- Japanese (JPN)
- German (DEU)
- French (FRN)
