Getting ContextSwitchDeadlock during synchronization

Question
-
when i tried to sync two 2008 r2 sql databases im getting an unhandled exception 'ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected'.When I first received the "DisconnectedContext was detected" message and I removed the breaking on exception from the Debug->Exceptions... window. But then I received "ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected". I removed this too and the UI came back to life. After some time it freezed again.
ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected
Message: The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x3683e0 to COM context 0x368550 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.and my sync code is,
SqlSyncProvider RemoteProvider = new SqlSyncProvider(scopename, sqlDestinationConn); SqlSyncProvider LocalProvider = new SqlSyncProvider(scopename, sqlSourceConn); if (sqlDestinationConn.State != ConnectionState.Open && sqlSourceConn.State != ConnectionState.Open) { sqlDestinationConn.Open(); sqlSourceConn.Open(); } RemoteProvider.MemoryDataCacheSize = MemorySize; LocalProvider.MemoryDataCacheSize = MemorySize; RemoteProvider.ApplicationTransactionSize = BatchSize; RemoteProvider.ChangesApplied += new EventHandler<DbChangesAppliedEventArgs>(RemoteProvider_ChangesApplied); SyncOrchestrator oOrchestrator = new SyncOrchestrator(); oOrchestrator .RemoteProvider = RemoteProvider; oOrchestrator .LocalProvider = LocalProvider; oOrchestrator .Direction = SyncDirectionOrder.UploadAndDownload; textBox3.Text = "Starting sync.... " + DateTime.Now + Environment.NewLine + textBox3.Text; textBox3.ScrollToCaret(); textBox3.Refresh(); ShowStatistics(oOrchestrator.Synchronize());
Thanks in advance..
