So I've never ran into this error before. The title is: ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected. The messagebody is:
The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x9370d8 to COM context 0x937248 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations
it allowed me to continue running the code, but it happened on a very long processing task, which I'm sure I'm going to have to bring over to a bgworker. The code I'm using is:
Basically it's reading a map file and storing it into a 2d array. My questions are:
Thanks for all y'all's help.

Code:

'Set it's properties
With board_level1(currentx, currenty)
.ID = id
.IsPassable = ispassable
.ImageLocation = imglocation
.Location = New Point(currentx * 50, currenty * 50)
End With
'Add it to the Panel
SplitContainer1.Panel2.Controls.Add(board_level1(currentx, currenty))
End If
End While
End If- Is there anything I can do to speed this puppy up?
- Should it be placed in a backgroundworker?
- What should I do prevent the error from coming up again?
Thanks for all y'all's help.
