Noob question

[Dan McCollick]

Hi All,
Noob question that I can not seem to figure out:

I am trying to implement a screenscraper to pull data from two seperate
websites, here is some test code so far:

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Application.Ena bleVisualStyles ();
Application.Set CompatibleTextR enderingDefault (false);
MainForm mainForm = new MainForm();
//Application.Run (new MainForm());
Application.Run (mainForm);
mainForm.setSta tusBarLabel("Re ady");
//load prosight data
mainForm.loadPr osightData();
Application.Run (mainForm);

}

Why, when debuging, does the system never go past Appplication.Ru n
(mainForm)?

In another method in the mainForm constructor, I load an
InternetExplore r object. I would like the statustext, and progress bar
from this object to feed and update a status bar in my mainform. If
Application.Run (mainform) would end, i could then use the
setStatusBarLab el function to update my status text.....

Because you told the app to run the form. The form is running. When the form
closes, the method will continue.

Put your form-specific code in the form.

Thanks Kevin, I think I certify for your Professional Numbskull title;

I called the Application.run , from the form. I will move this out into
it's own file.
