My problem is that the speed that the info is returned from the net, varies and because the info is late sometimes the program exits when it should not.

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.

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.

View 1 RepliesI 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.

View 11 RepliesI developed an application in Visual Basic 2010 Express which has two features:
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.
