Keeping application alive starting from Sub Main()

Re: Keeping application alive starting from Sub Main()

Hi,
You could create a blank project and put a Sub Main() in it, this
would be the default startpoint. However, it is unlikely you would want to
do it this way really, you should try and think VB.NET rather than the old
way. For example, create a windows forms application in VB>NET and you will
find that your primary form ( Form1 ) is the startup class. when you run it
the form will appear.

Re: Keeping application alive starting from Sub Main()

Hi Vell,

If you are starting a form from Sub Main, you need to run it using
Application.Run so that a message loop is started and the application
doesn't terminate until the form is unloaded...

\\\
Public Sub Main()
Application.Run (New MyForm)
End Sub
///

Hope this helps,
Gary

Re: Keeping application alive starting from Sub Main()

Well Cor, I really dont think saying "I Love you" was what you really meant,
at least I hope not. ! and that we are dealing with a language issue here !

I think what you meant to say was 'you like the way I answered the
question'.
