UsingWebBrowser control in ASP.NET application

Question

I want to create site thumbnails through my web application, so I thought I would use the WebBrowser control. However, I get an error:

System.Threading.ThreadStateException: ActiveX control '8856f961-340a-11d0-a96b-00c04fd705a2' cannot be instantiated because the current thread is not in a single-threaded apartment.

I tried setting the current thread:

Thread.CurrentThread.ApartmentState = ApartmentState.STA

But that didn't help.

Is in not possible to use the WebBrowser control in ASP.NET?

Answer 1

YES, you can use it, it's a little more complicated than setting AspCompat="true", see if this helps
