MapPoint and VS2008 and Vista cross thread execption

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello,

We are migrating a major development to .NET/VS2008 and have encountered the same error as many others (acorrding to the number of posts), however most of these posts are over 7 months old and none really offered a solution, so I thought I would try again.

The problem:
After dropping the MapPoint OCX onto the form and attempting to compile, I receive the following error:
Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'axMapper' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
Also, the MapPoint control is never visible. This appears to be an issue with VS20008 + Vista, as things work as expected in VS2008 + XP Pro.

Setting Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false; allowed the application to compile, but MapPoint remained invisible, also, making this call makes me very nervous.

Additionally, the application created and compiled with VS2008 + XP Pro and VS2005 + XP Pro does not run on a Vista computer with VS2008; however, the same test applications (created with VS2005 and VS2008) DO run on a Vista computer that does not have VS2008 installed.

Finally, MapPoint applications created with Borland Delphi work fine on the Vista dev computer with VS2008 installed.

Thanks in advance,
Craig
