Sub Main()

[thomasp]

Ok, I have a VB2005 Beta 2 project with several forms. I have Form1 set as
my startup form. I want to change this to have Sub Main of modMain (listed
below) to be the startup file. How do I do this? If I go to the
application properties and choose an Application Type of Windows
Application, I can only chose a startup Form, not the modMain.

Been reading about exception handling and I am trying to get started on it.

Thanks,

Thomas

Public Module modMain

Public Shared Sub Main()

AddHandler Application.ThreadException, AddressOf
Application_ThreadException

Try
Application.Run(New Form1)
Catch ex As Exception
LogException(ex)
End Try

End Sub

Private Sub Application_ThreadException(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.Threading.ThreadExceptionEventArgs)

LogException(e.Exception)

End Sub

Private Sub LogException(ByVal ex As Exception)

' code that writes error to an sql database

End Sub
End Module

Select "My Project" in the solution explorer -> "Application" -> [_] "Enable
application framework". Then you can select "Sub Main" from the "Startup
object:" combobox.
AddHandler Application.ThreadException, AddressOf

Note that VB 2005 provides application events, which can be handled by
clicking the "View Application Events..." button on "My Project"'s
"Application" tab.

Thanks for the answer, but it is the same answer I have been getting from
all my web searching. I hope I am missing something here. I have attached
as screen shot. Select startup Form is all I see and Sub Main is not listed
in the dropdown.

Thanks,

Thomas

Create a class, then add a member method to it - should be visible in the
project properties as a startup object.

Class MyApplication

<STAThread()> _
Shared Sub Main()

End Sub

End Class

Your code suffers from the problem that it cannot be compiled. If you are
defining 'Sub Main' in a module, you must not mark it with the 'Shared'
modifier.

Robin,

I added the class just as you suggested, still all that is visible are the
forms in the project. If I change the Application Type to Console
application Sub Main then becomes a choice, but I don't want the console
poping up each time I run the application. Any more suggestions. This
seems like it would be easy to fix. Is it a VB2005 bug?

Thanks,

Thomas

Herfried,
OK, I misread your posting. I had Enable application framework checked.
With it unchecked I can choose Sub Main. Unchecking gave me several errors
with some My.Application.Doevents() code. How should it be coded now? I
was using it a few places in my code.

Thanks,

Thomas

As I already said, it's sufficient to disable the application framework.

Alot of my code doesn't work when I uncheck Enable Application Framework.
Lines of code like:

Me.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.WaitCursor

and

Form1.rtbAllAcq.Text = aryStatistics(0)

no longer work.

Anyway I am going to remove Sub Main and return Form1 as the
startup Form. I will have to do some reading on Exception
handling and see how to handle exceptions that I do not catch
at the form level. My code is working fine as is, but I wanted
to try and add some improvements.

Thanks,

Thomas

Use 'System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents' instead. What error message
are you receiving?

Thomas,

A beta version can never have Bugs, only not yet well done things.

Cor

[thomasp]

If I add Imports System.Windows.Forms to each of the modules that have code
that modifies controls in forms such as

gfrmExReports.prgReport.Value += intProgress (updates a progress bar)

and

Form1.rtbAllAcq.Text = aryStatistics(0) (updates a richTextBox)

Would these line of code start working again?

I am also reading about exception handling to try and correct the mistakes
you pointed out on my first post. The code
was copied from a newsgroup post on VB2003 or VB2002. I am trying to read
up on how to handle exceptions in VB2005.
This is my first VB.net project and I am really happy with how well it
functions. Just trying to keep improving it.
Thanks for all the help,

Thomas
