VS 2003 vs 2005 Startup properties

[Rob]

In VS2003 you had the option to select "Sub Main" as the Startup Object

It appears this option is not present in VS2005...

Is this the case ?

Thanks !

You must turn off the application framework first - then Sub Main will
show up in the startup object drop down. You'll probably want to add
"Application.En ableVisualStyle s()" and maybe even
"Application.Se tCompatibleText RenderingDefaul t(False)" to your Sub
Main to add back the features removed by unchecking the application
framework.

Thanks,

Instead of doing that... where would be a better palce to put some startup
code that applies to the whole program ?

Example... I place some code here to ensure that only 1 instance of the
program is running...

Thanks,
Rob

If thats all your sub main does, just scrap it and check the "Make a
single instance application" on the application framework options box.

Do you see any case for not starting with a form ?

For your project or any project?

Thanks,

[Rob]

For any project that would be of the "Windows Application" type ?

Just want to know if there are some good cases for doing this...

Thanks,

For example I have an application that shows a splash screen, updates
any dll files, registers a user with a database, grabs the appropriate
user settings, loads the main form into memory, hides the splash, and
finally shows the main form.
