Windows Form freezes itself and everything else after it loads

I have a Windows forms project which is part of a larger project.
When I built this project, it worked great and had no problems.

I recently was running the main project and clicked on the menu to
open the form for this project and as soon as it loaded, all the
controls on the form were frozen, no reaction to clicking on buttons,
etc. Then I tried to close it by clicking on the X and nothing
happens..I tried to close the entire main project...every thing is
frozen after this form loads. I have to stop it using the IDE to get
the project to close. In the executable, the same thing happens, and
Ctrl+Alt+Delete is the only solution once this form loads.

I can't find anything on line about what might cause this. I would
appreciate any help.

Thanks,
CC

Sounds like something is blocking or otherwise causing your form to
hang.
I don't see any reason why a form would do this on it's own, so the
questions I would then ask are:
(1) How are you instantiating (creating and displaying) the form?
(2) What does the form do (go through) when it is loaded and displayed
(ie, anything special in Sub New, Form_Load, Form_Activated, etc? How
about any controls that handle Selection changes that may be firing
before the form is displayed?)

Since it's hanging after the form is initially displayed, I would try
and step through it with the debugger.
Something's causing it, and it's very unlikely that there is some bug
in .NET Forms that's to blame.

Hi, I am working on a genealogy form. The only table (so far) lists everybody in the family, one record per person. Each record has an autonum ID.

I have a Tab Control in the form, and in one of the tabs I have a subform (sfmSiblings) in which I wish to list...

I have a Windows application developed in VS.Net 2002 and upgraded to VS2005, and when I try to run it in an 800x600 resolution, it doesn't load completely (plus its memory usage is really high). If I minimize, and maximize it, then it'll display correctly. How come? Is there a fix? Thanks.

Hi guys, I'm attempting to run a query that I made and it is running way too slow. Everything seems to work fine until I add in a table (dbo_INIH) and a field from that table (TAKBY). The reaction I get when I add those fields is weird. Within 2 minutes the first page of the query will show, which is normal for my queries. I suppose Access decided that it will be easier to show the first page and then load the rest of the records, so at this...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
