Symptoms
When you run a Web application that you created by using the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1), you receive a System.InvalidOperationException exception together with the following error message:
Hashtable insert failed. Load factor too high.
at System.Collections.Hashtable.Insert(Object key, Object nvalue, Boolean add)
at System.Collections.Hashtable.set_Item(Object key, Object value)
at System.ComponentModel.ReflectTypeDescriptionProvider.ReflectGetAttributes(Type type)
at System.ComponentModel.ReflectTypeDescriptionProvider.ReflectedTypeData.GetAttributes()
at System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.TypeDescriptionNode.DefaultTypeDescriptor.System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetAttributes()
at System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetAttributes(Type componentType)
Cause
This problem occurs because multiple threads in the application call the Hashtable.Insert method at the same time.
