Consider the following scenario: You have a Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2) service-based multithread Windows Form application. There are GIF images on the forms of each UI thread so that this application calls the
ImageAnimator class internally.
In this scenario, the application crashes when you run it for a long time. And, you receive the following exception errors:
Exception type: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException
Message: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
Inner exception: System.InvalidOperationException
Message: Object is currently in use elsewhere.
The problem occurs because of an issue in the
ImageAnimator.UpdateFrames method.
