Dynamic Startup Object

Does anyone know if there is a way of having a dynamic startup object
in a .NET application? I have a windows application which I would like
to be able to run as a Windows Forms app or a Windows service - is this
possible?

When I set the startup object to the Service, the service starts
correctly, but I cannot then run it as a Windows Forms application. If
I set the startup object to a form, the Forms application runs, but I
cannot start the service. I get an error saying that 'The service did
not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion'.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards

Mark.

I've hit something of a snag. Problem: In a DSP application we have data profiles with a varying number of points. We have a number of Discrete Fourier transforms that are optimised for a specific number of points. Currently, any client of these DFT classes must switch on the number of points in the profile and instanciate the correct DFT algorithm.

What is the best strategy for dynamic loading private assemblies in asp.net? I understand, and have confirmed, that any dll placed in the app's /bin dir will get loaded on startup. This is not desirable. I have a web service that, based on an input parameter, dynamically loads A, B or C library. I also understand that an separate AppDomain is needed to explicitly unload the Assembly. No other apps will use these assemblies. Do I need...

I'm using VB.Net 2005 beta 2 and have my login form (login.vb) specified as the startup form. If the user is successful logging in, I call my main form (main.vb). This all works fine but the problem is that the login form stays open. I put a me.close (in the login form) after opening the main form but that seems to close everything and the main form is not displayed. I thought I could call a Sub Main() that calls the login form, closes...

This is probably a silly question, but I've gotten myself confused. My app has two forms, form1 and form2. form1 is the start up object in the propers. An event in form1 instantiates form2. Dim myForm as HardwareStore myForm = New HardwareStore myForm.Show() I understand that my form2 can be referenced by

I'm a long-time VB6 programmer in a shop that is mostly moving to VB ..NET 2005. And I'm confused about coding the start of solutions for unattended operations. Much of what I write is old-time batch. Such programs are started from a scheduler and run on a server, cycling through a mass of data, without human intervention. No form should show on the server monitor, although an invisible one may be needed to support the Winsock or...

Hello all, I did a lot of research on the subject and came to the conclusion that what I want to do might not be "good practice". I created a set of table to manage user rights to forms in my solution and hope I might be able to auto-generate the menu at solution startup. I successfully created the menu structure but am stuck trying to add code to the click event of my menuitems. The database sends me the string name of the form to...

In 2003 I sometimes changed the startup object of a project to Sub Main which was found in Module1.vb. I upgraded one such project to 2005 and I notice in the properties page for the project that nothing is selected as the startup object. It appears to function but should I set it to Sub Main?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
