I have started to use VB .net (Visual Studio 2008). I made a small program which starts with form1. This form1 automatically loads form2 and the form1 should close. But when it closes form2 closes as well.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub LC_Load (ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Show()
Form2.Show()
Me.Close()
End Sub
End Class
I have a piece of code connecting to my database retrieving data. I was just testing the form on another computer and everytime it loads this specific form it closes the form.You can see the lines I had to comment out in order for the form to NOT close on load. Is there something possibly that needs to be installed on this other computer? running XP pro 32 bit.

Is it possible to do it invisibly? And once it is done, is it possible to close the invisible browser window too?

I started making a program, and I wanted to insert music to play. i just added music to the resources and used the code my.computer.audio.play(my.resources.name_of_the_file and so on. this worked perfectly until I added the 5th song. the resource file became to large and vb said it was corrupt. so I thought of a new way: making a music file opener. I made a code so a window opens where you can select your .wav files. that all worked, but I couldn't get it so the music would start automaticly or that it would actually play. this is the code I have so far:
vb.net
Dim Open As New OpenFileDialog()
Open.Filter = "Wav [*.wav*]|*.wav"
Open.CheckFileExists = True

View 5 RepliesI am using Visual studio express 2008. I was working on a VB project for a few hours. Then I did something,(I think I just double clicked the form ) and I cannot open it in design mode. By Design mode I mean so you can see the controls, and ad buttons and stuff. The form still runs, if I run it. I see the form in the Solution explorer. From solution explorer, if I show all Files , then open FrmMain.Designer.vb, I can see my code. If I go to the project menu item and insert New Windows Form the new form works like I expect it too, I can see it. I need to be able to see my form.

View 3 RepliesI have a form which won't open properly under certain circumstances if a particular Button is set to visible = false. Under the same circumstances if the Button is set to visiblbe = true the form does open properly or if the line of code at a certain place where it is set to either visible = true or visible = false is commented out or not there then the form opens properly. If any one of the 5 phases on my form are turned on then the problem doesn't ever occur but if none of the phases are on then the problem does occur. I just found a fix for the situation but I still am not clear about what exactly is going on.
