If you google for MTA and STA you will get some very detailed information about apartments.

Synchronisation contexts are used for passing across threads (such as invoking a method via a SendOrPostCallback delegate to the UI thread). Also have a look at AsyncOperation and AsyncOperationManager (these use Syncronization contexts under the hood) as used internally by the BackgroundWorker.

You must learn to Google: a very quick search using "Apartments and Windows Forms and Synchronization Contexts" copied and pasted from your question gave this: http://www.scribd.com/doc/7336837/36/Apartments-and-Windows-Forms[^] (among others).
