I got the following exception:
Exception Type: System.InvalidOperationException
Exception Message: The Undo operation encountered a context that is different from what was applied in the corresponding Set operation. The possible cause is that a context was Set on the thread and not reverted(undone).

Exception HelpLink:
The application is a Visual Studio 2005 (.Net 2.0) console application. It is a server for multiple TCP/IP connections, doing asynchronous socket reads and synchronous socket writes.
In searching for an answer I came across this post which talks about a call to Application.Doevents() which I don't use in my code.
I also found this post which has a resolution involved with Component which I also don't use in my code. The application does reference a library that I created that contains custom user controls and components, but they are not being used by the application.
Question: What caused this to happen and how do I prevent this from happening again?
Or a more realistic question: What does this exception actually mean? How is "context" defined in this situation?
Anything that can help me understand what is going on would be very much appreciated.
