VS 2010 Can't Start System.Windows.Forms.Timer
Feb 4, 2012I have a System.Windows.Forms.Timer named "DialogBoxTimer" set up on a form. When the form loads, it has a command to stop the timer.

View 4 RepliesApplication Start And Main Form?
Oct 2, 2009I 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.

Popup Closed - Main Form Hidden Behind Other Windows
Oct 26, 2011Using vb.net. I've got a main form that displays when application is opened. A popup form can then be opened. If there are other windows opened on the desktop, for example windows explorer, then when the popup form is closed, the main form gets hidden behind windows explorer. You have to move windows explorer out of the way to get to the main form. Is there a way to keep this from happening?
