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.
In this code the program did not show me the screen and start loading.I see the Form when they has finished with the load of the file
Private Sub Main_Form_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
TotalRecords = 0
Call Find_Total_Records()
[code]....
I want the program FIRST show me the screen and after i see the form to start load the file I have try with the 'Application.DoEvents() and System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(200) without any effect?
I have a startup form with one list view and one combo box. When combo box SelectedIndexChanged a make call a subroutine that perform read of a file. In Main_Form_Activated i give a default value in my Combo box. The problem is: The program didn't show me the main screen and after call the subroutine to load the file but without show me any screen starting to load the file and they show me the screen AFTER the load of the file.
View 6 RepliesI 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.

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.
I have made my application to start automaticly when windows start (registry ../currentversion/run/appname + path). In this mode the application start minimized and an little icon appear in the notification icon area. With this icon you can maximize the app or exit it.If you exit the app and start it again using the Menu (Start/programs etc) than the application start in minimized mode (and in this case I would like to have it in normal mode) because the setting autostart is still true.Is there a way you can detect when the application start when windows startup using the above registry or when people click on an icon in the programs menu (or desktop)?

I have custom asynchronous WebRequest class that I am testing to find out how fast the request will be cancelled and found some odd results, that starting 6 WebRequests with TPL and cancelling them right away takes 25 sec, but when I used just regular background threads it took only 5 sec.
Update: Running them without cancelling takes with Task.Start 9 sec and Thread.Start 3 sec accordingly.

I'm using Process.Start to start an external command line application and using the StartInfo.Arguments method to send parameters to the application. I imagine I'll need to use a loop... but I can't figure out exactly how yet.I need to send anywhere from 1 - an infinite number of files names to this application. Each file has to be sent one after the other. So once the first one is done, I need to loop back around and past the second one.I can probably use the Directory.GetFiles method to get all of the files, but I don't know how to assign them.

I have an application (application #1) running with Administrator privileges on Windows 7.
I want application # 1 to start another application (application #2) without Administrator privileges so application #2 is running as a standard user.
Is there a way to do this? I have been using Process.Start.

I've commented out various things to limit it to specifically this command (example, I can swap mklink out with notepad and it works fine). The command runs fine from a DOS window, but can't be found when I use it this way. I also tried using the SHELL command just to test and I get the same results. No idea why it can't be found, as like I said it executes from the command prompt just fine.

View 3 RepliesI am confused with the terms Build ,rebuild ,start , start without debugging in VS.NET.After writing the code what actually we want to do .We have to run directly by pressing F5 key or we have to build the solution .Usually i tried to run the application after coding and if shows any any errors i will fix that and run again .I never used build or rebuild thing .What exactly meant by building the solution .What is meant by rebuild and start without debugging.

View 3 RepliesI'm using VB.Net, and I have a set of data which I have to able to filter through fairly quickly.Basically, the program is like google sugest, but instead of a drop-down menu, I'm using a listbox. When a user enters a word, I compare the word using LINQ and filter those that contain the user's input. The data are all strings of variable length (from 0 to 200 characters, most on 150 character mark), and I have 240,000+ of this strings and counting- all stored in an XML file.
A colleague of mine told me that loading all of that to memory (using VB.Net's XML serializer plus collections of string/objects) is not practical, and would slow the 'startup' time of the program. I haven't finished building the program yet and I'm having second thoughts about continuing this path.
So, my question is: Should I continue with my current approach on the problem (which is load everything to memory on startup), or is there a better way of solving my dilemma?
Could anybody tell me which event is good to start the thread to load resultset?
Example :
Dim Table As DataTable
Sub LoadItem
Dim BL As New BLItem
BL.LoadResultSet()
[Code]...
I know that to start a program at startup, we should add this subkey
"C:Program Files<myprogram's path><nameoftheprog>.exe"
to
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
Alright!
But the problem is when my program has to delete a certain file in C:/ at startup, it just can't because it's not ran as administrator!
