How can I get my application to load the Sub Main at the start rather than loading a form on start up.
I have tried declaring 'Public Sub Main' on my forms and in some modules, yet in my project properties, it is not one of the options.

We have a Dell laptop used to run an in-house VB.NET program. It got a virus. We had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Windows from scratch. We use Windows XP Pro, which is what was installed on it before. But now our VB program won't run. After trying and despairing of getting remote debugging to work, I actually installed Visual Studio 2005 on the machine, just long enough to get information about what was making the program fail. And the failure was most peculiar. It isn't in our code. It's in the VB setup code that loads the main form. And it says, "Error loading form: class not registered."The gory details are given below. Now here's the strange thing. Not every VB.net program fails on this computer. And the program that fails, fails only on this computer; it has run successfully on several other Windows XP systems with .NET Framework 2.0 installed.[code]

I am developing a commercial application that needs to do some environment checking upon start up. I need to check things like the following. 1. Is there a registry entry on this machine that has various keys for paths to SQL Server 2. If it does not I need to create them. 3. Prompt user for the path to the SQL Server 4.Check the SQL Server to see if the database I need exists. 5. Create the DB if not. 6. Populate the DB with the tables I need 7. Create stored procs in the DB 8. Write the registry. I could do all this in the form load of the main form. However is there a better way? Like doing all these checks as part of a splash screen for example.

I'm using the command line parameters to start my applicaton. To do that, I'm using the Application Startup event:
Friend Sub MyApplication_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.StartupEventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
If e.CommandLine.Count = 1 AndAlso e.CommandLine(0) = "-startintray" Then
[code]....
Code works but I can't set my startup form as invisible. It always shows itself as usual. I want to put it to system tray.

Im trying make my application display my splash screen for 5secs before loading my main form. I have read lots of threads on this and they all seem to point to the following:Add the following code to the New() sub of the splashscreen.
My.Application.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 5000
I have also seen a suggestion to add the following code to the OnInitilalize event in the ApplicationsEvents file.
Me.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 5000
I've have tried both ways, and although it successfully makes my splashscreen wait 5 seconds before closing, it doesnt prevent the Main form from waiting for the splashscreen to close before loading. The mainform simply loads over the top of the splashscreen.This thread is exactly what im after but i cant seem to get mine to work.

I have application framework enabled. I have my startup form set to my main form, and i have set my splashscreen in the application tab of my project properties. Im using VS2008.I also noticed that when i clicked on the "View Application Events" button in the application tab of my project properties, the file was blank. I have seen that some other people have had problems with this. I just cut and paste the following code into my ApplicationEvents file. Potentially an issue??? Any reason why the code was not auto-generated to begin with?
Namespace My
' The following events are availble for MyApplication:
'
' Startup: Raised when the application starts, before the startup form is created.

I am trying to use a progressbar to show on main form and then finish when next form is loaded, I have got this code.
1. When I click on button, it must open next form, but the next form must only open when the data in my list box has been loaded from Access Databse. When I run my program, it only shows the progressbar and don't open the next form.
Main form code:
Public Class Main
Dim PB As ProgressBar
Private Sub main_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub

I have created a project that shows a splash screen first and then shows the main form once the main form has been fully loaded. I only want to show my splash screen once the main form has completely loaded in the background. My main form by itself takes like 3 seconds to load, so I would like to display the splash screen for about 3 seconds and then show the main form because the main form will then be fully loaded, but instead it shows the splash screen for 3 seconds and then the main form still has to load anyway.How can I load the main form in the background and then show it when it is fully loaded?

I have a couple of user controls, which I show in my main form.
So let's say here's what i want:
Sub Show_Control1()
UserControl1.Show
'CODE TO HIDE EVERY OTHER DISPLAYED USER CONTROL ON THE MAIN FORM
End sub
Right now I have to hide them one by one with hide, because I don't know what's the current displayed form.

I have an app that connects to a remote database.The connection to the database is triggered by the form load event of the main start up form which prompts the user for user name and a password.Here is my problem:Sometimes it takes a number of seconds for the database connection to be established after the user has double clicked the desktop icon. this means that during this period it appears that no action is taking place until the startup form becomes visible.Some impatient users assume that nothing is happening and double click the icon again.What I want to do is to have a graphic image or something pop up on the screen immediately when the program starts that displays something like 'Connecting To Database, please be patient"

Q1: How can i make it so that my window that i want to show as a drop down does not appear to take the focus off the main form that is calling it?
Q2: The form that is dropping down has the FormBorderStyle Property set to None - thus the window does not have a drop down shadow - how can I make the popup window have a shadow?

Type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.Application' is not defined.
Type 'dao.DBEngine' is not defined.

I have a program that uses two forms. The program opens to the Main form, and the user can navigate to the other form from the Main form through use of a button. Here's the way I've currently written it: When the Main form loads, it declares and instantiates the other form during the load procedure. When the user presses a button, the second form is displayed by means of the ShowDialog method. On the second form, there is a Return to Main Screen button which closes the second form, bringing the user back to the Main form.
So, here's the structure of the code:
Code:
Public Class frmMainForm
Dim frmSecondForm As New SecondForm
Private Sub btnSecondForm_Click(blah, blah, blah) Handles blah, blah, blah
[CODE]...
Here's my reasoning: Originally, I wrote the code so that a new instance of the second form was created every time the button was pressed. The problem was that whatever data was displayed on the second form, previously, was lost when the user returned to it a second time. Since the user would be switching back and forth between these forms, frequently, I needed that data to persist.
What is the best practice for accomplishing this:
1) Declare and instantiate the second form on program start, as I have done, and use the button simply to show the form?
2) Declare and instantiate the second form each time the button is pressed but maintain the variables on the Main form and pass them ByRef to a custom constructor for the second form? Is this even possible?
3) Something else?

I tried to make a menu for my game, but when I placed the code into the form loading event, it wouldn't show. Then I placed a button and moved the code into the button click event and it worked. Thus, I know the code shouldn't be wrong. How can you make the graphics( as in lines, rectangle,etc) show up when it starts up?

I have a window application develpoed in vs 2008, framework 3.5, in which i have put a button..

When I press "Show Desktop" button in the taskbar my main form "disappears". The only way to show it again is by pressing an other program which is open in the taskbar (lets say Word) to rise and unrise again.
