I want A application that im going to make in VB.NET to load on Startup. I found a few topics on Windows Service for creating a start up service but then I read that you can't use it to load up a form. So there must be a way to have your program load on a computer when the user turns on or log's in at startup.Thing is, this application is going to be installed on many computers and people wont like having to remember to run it.

This guy is using Windows Vista. I've tested this application on several Vista machines and it works fine.
Do you have any idea how to debug it? Of course this guy doesn't have Visual Studio.

I am working on a vb.net windows 32 bit application. The application needs to startup. So I add the registry entry to rut it on windows startup. Also it is set to run asdministrator.The application starts fine onall OS except Win7 32 bit. It works fine for win 7- 64 bit. On Win 7 32 bit:If i execute the application directly, it runs fine. But it does not starts at the time of windows startup.
View 4 RepliesWith my new ventures in VB, I wondered how I can allow the user to start the application on startup if they wish. Where when the checkbox for it is checked, it will launch on startup. And when its not checked, it is normally launched. (e.g. Windows Live Messenger)

View 3 RepliesI've developed program w/ VS 2005 .net 2.0.... the program works great on all my customers computers, except for one. Immediatedly whenever opening the program he recieves a clr20r3 error and the process terminates.
I compiled a version of the program that put a simple msgbox that displayed "I'm working right now" first thing in the sub that handles me.startup. The program doesn't even get that far. I've tryed repairing .net 2.0... and completely uninstalling 2.0 and reinstalling it.
I have created a small multithreaded application using VB.NET. There is no problem when the user manually runs this application. A problem exists when I added this application on startup. It hangs after I rebooted the system. The application is still running its thread but I can't see its GUI because its frozen. If I kill it on task manager and started again, the application works fine. What could be the possible reason/s why this application hangs when added on startup?
Imports System.Threading
Public Class USBLock
Public Event Lock()
[Code]....
or just a thought on this subject: the reason why the program hangs on startup is because the application is loaded while the .net framework service has not yet started.

I have a VB.NET application with a connection to an SQL Server 2003. On the server there are two databases, MyDatabase and MyDatabase_Test. What I would like to do is to show a dialog when the program starts that let's the user choose which database to use. My idea is to create a new form as the starup form that sets this property and then launches the main form.Currently the connectionstring is specified in the application config file. Best would be if I can specify two different connection strings in that file to choose from, but for now it is also acceptable with other solutions like hardcoding the two connectionstrings into the startup form.EDIT: In the dataset.xsd file there seems to be the relevant part
<Connections>
<Connection AppSettingsObjectName="MySettings" AppSettingsPropertyName="MyDatabase_ConnectionString" ConnectionStringObject="" I

Dim FRM_main As Form = New Form
FRM_main.Show()
End Sub[/code]
and set Title, Size and location of form at design time.but i didn't get the desired result. my application didn't start and goto system tray as inteded.i also try coding the FormLoad Event to ME.Hide but it also doesn't work so how do i do this?
I am working on a Windows Forms application which is primarily to be used as a command line application with an optional GUI in the case where no command line options are specified. The program is intended to be a lightweight version of a larger program, intended to perform a couple of very specific tasks without requiring all the initialization required in the larger program.To this end, I am planning on using Me.Startup in applicationevents to process the command line options and determine if the Startup form should be displayed or not. In the case where the startup form should not be displayed, what is the method to close the application from within Me.Startup Application.Exit, Me.Close, and others are not available from within Me.Startup. My searches online have shown that I can use e.ApplicationExit() from Me.UnhandledException, but this method is also not available from Me.Startup.if anyone has any better ideas on how to accomplish what I am trying to do, those comments are always welcome.

1) It is portable and uses some .dlls which must be in the same folder
2) Requires Administrator in order to run
I want my application to run on windows startup. So i created the registry string value and made some tests that gave me the following results:
1) Windows XP -> Runs on startup without any errors
2) Windows 7 Starter -> It simply ignores my application
3) Windows 7 Premium -> The run confirmation box from unknown publisher appeared and when i selected to run, AVG gave a virus warning
4) Windows 8 Consumer Preview -> It simply ignores my application
The MSDN page for System.Windows.Application lists a property called StartupUri. However,this MSDN example uses Startup.Where is Startup defined? I couldn't find it in the MSDN documentation.

How can I add application to startup of VISTA or Win7, using Setup and Deployment package?
View 1 RepliesI took the following method to make a registry key in my setup project. When I run setup, it says Could not write value Run to the key. Verify that you have the sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel. "Below I have copied the code that I took from the forum After you have built your own application project, Right Click the "Solution" to "Add a New Project", of cource the project type is Setup and Deployment Project.
Add the "Project Outputs" into the setup project, here, it can be the your own application,Most of important step: Open the "Regstry" view of the setup project, then add new keys in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" according to the information I just mentioned. Below the key "Run", you can add a new string value. Then in the value's "Properties" view, enter "[TARGETDIR]YourApplicationName.exe" .Install your application using the msi file created by setup project, then restart your computer, you can see the result.
