Change Startup minimum time

[Infog]

I was unable to get these instructions to work:

http://bytes.com/groups/net-vb/852477-vb-net-200-splash-screen-pause-longer

When pasting in the code below, I get an message that says "Statement is not valid in a namespace".

I am using .NET 3.5 for my program, and the code came from: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...splaytime.aspx

Protected Overrides Function OnInitialize( _
    ByVal commandLineArgs As _
    System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String) _
) As Boolean
    ' Set the display time to 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds). 
    Me.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 5000
    Return MyBase.OnInitialize(commandLineArgs)
End Function

When I try your line 3 in C# it wants <> not () but that might be a language syntax difference. I don't do VB

System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection<>

It might help to know which line VS is breaking on to give you that error message

The message is given for

Protected Overrides Function OnInitialize( _
    ByVal commandLineArgs As  _
    System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String) _
) As Boolean

Oh, and as a note, this code is in ApplicationEven ts.vb

(woops... how do I delete a post....)

have you put the function within a class? or right beneath the namespace definition? make sure it's within your class statement..(Par tial Friend Class MyApplication)
