Form: calling Close() method in Load event.

[Qwert]

Hello,

I try to call the Close( ) method in the Load event of a Form, but it
doesn't seem to work. Any idea why not? And how do I close a Form in it's
own Load event?

Private Sub frmForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Try
Throw New Exception("Close me please.")
Catch
Me.Close()
End Try
End Sub

Thank you.

Qwert,

Your code seems to work for me. Does your form load instead of closing? Are
you getting any error messages?

Your code works fine for me on .NET 1.1 SP1. What version of .NET are you
using and how are you showing your form?

No error messages. When I call Me.Close() in the Load event, the form
doesn't close. Everything contineous like I didn't call Me.Close().

I have both 1.0 and 1.1 installed, VS.NET(2002, v7.0) says it's using 1.0.

I show the form with the .ShowDialog() method.

Qwert,

I just tried your code in VS.Net 2002 and it did not work. When I tried it
in VS.Net 2003 it worked fine.

The Try - Catch block worked in Form_Load, but not the Me.Close()

Hmm and one more m. Weird.

Then I have to do it another way. More work.

Thank y'all for the answers and the testing.
