Threading Error (calling dispose from a background thread)

There have been no real performance hits with the workaround, so I think this will be acceptable for now.
Thanks for your assistance.

I have written various tests and tried different combinations (processor architecture, Debug/Release builds, C#/VB.NET, run in test host vs. run directly in WinForms app), but I was unable to reproduce this issue so far.
The one thing I have *not* done yet is to make the original project run on my machine (it seemed too complicated, given that I need to attach the database, change the tag names etc.). Do you think it is now the moment to make this effort?
Note: I will be mostly unavailable till Tuesday.

Hi,
I am not attempting to dispose of the object manually. I guess this means it should stay alive until it is garbage collected.

[project file received - Project Enterprise.zip]
I have a question.
When you say
are you talking about a specific, explicit call to EasyDAClient.Dispose()? Because, I cannot find it in the app... . Can you point me to the file and method/line where it is done, or (even better) provide a call stack that leads to the Dispose()? Or, are we instead of some kind of system-induced call - when and how?
Thank you

Here's an update from our end:
I currently have a workaround for this problem. Analysis of the event log revealed that just prior to the crash of the application, an OutOfMemoryException would be thrown in the constructor of the SanritsuDownload class. I converted the class into a singleton class and used a ConcurrentQueue to feed download requests, which then would actually be performed in a long-running BackgroundWorker.
I can't see inside the EasyDAClient code, but I suspect that it has a problem releasing resources when the application is done with it. Either that, or I'm doing something incorrectly with respect to managing the object

Calling Dispose is recommended but not strictly necessary. What you are doing should be possible; it might be a bug in the component.
Can you send me the project, so that I can reproduce it easily?

Threading Error was created by cdunlap
I have a VB.NET application built on OPC Data.NET. We create instances of the EasyDAClient object in separate threads because we do not want to tie up the UI thread waiting for writes to complete. The threads are initiated through BackgroundWorker objects.
It appears that when the application tries to destroy an EasyDAClient object in a background thread, we get the exception shown here:
<Exception><ExceptionType>System.Threading.ThreadStateException, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089</ExceptionType><Message>Thread has not been started.</Message><StackTrace> at System.Threading.Thread.JoinInternal(Int32 millisecondsTimeout)

Is there something that I am doing to cause this issue? It looks like maybe the client is trying to access a thread that is in the "Unstarted" state?
How should I be handling the disposal of these objects (if at all)? From reading, it looks like I should call Dispose before exiting as opposed to waiting for the garbage collector?
Thanks for your help.
