This is probably the most silly question asked here but I just can't figure
it out.
In VB6 letting Sub Main() be the app's startup directory was real easy under
project properties.
In VB.Net however I don't see such an option, all I see is which form I want
the program to start in.
I've added a Sub Main() into forms, modules, and classes (using the shared
parameter) but I just can't
get project properties to let me choose it as the startup sub. It's always
in some form_load it wants
to startup.
Why?

Show us the code you use to make the the module sub main. It should
show up as Main in the drop down.
Chris
In Project Properties there is a check box Enable Application Framework. If
it's checked then there is no Sub main option. If you uncheck it then Sub
Main option appears in the list of startup objects.
You create Sub Main in a module and it works. At least I did what I
described.

In a module I did it like this:

End Sub

Similar in a form or class.

Thanks, that made it startup without crashing.
Disabling the framework seems to take away functionality within the
controls.
For example the icons I used in the tree view control suddently get a black
border thus look ugly. Turn on the framekwork and bingo they're nice again.
I think it's to do with disabling Windows XP visual styles.

Adam,
I have a very long experience with VB6, with VB2005 I'm just starting. I did
already several nice looking forms with Infragistics and did not notice any
visual problem.
I cannot be sure that turning on or off Enable Application Framework may
affect visual stuff. Maybe it's related somehow, but as I said I do not see
problems yet.
I tried to attached a couple of screen shots , but they are not accepted by
the server (sizes 50 K and 90 K - to make them smaller to make them look
worse).

Those are nice looking screens indeed.
In that case it must not affect all controls (the visuals going downhill)
because on mine I have a menu strip
and tree view amongst other graphical control and both suffered visual loss
when turning off the framework.
On one side .NET seems easier than VB6 but on the other there's many places
to just ask ?????'s
about even simple things.
At least we can still use the Win32API if unsure and I'm sure it's faster
than this freamework wrapper
interpreted code anyway.

I hate XP style myself and even did not try to run under XP desktop
settings. After your answer I tryed and saw that many controls changed their
appearance, but they still look fine. Just different than they are under
Classic settings. Now I need to check all controls, because my users tastes
are not the same as mine, so they may use XP settings. So far I did not find
any problem.

If that's the only code in your Sub Main and frmMain is your startup
object, then there is no logical reason to use a SubMain.
If there is other code, you might want to look at possibly using

Try adding:
Application.EnableVisualStyles
in your subMain module.
Hmmm, that's how I expect things to work, more how VB6 RIP worked. Thanks.
So why the framework? What exactly happens when it's disabled in the
application settings?
The .NET framework it used anyhow is it not?
Maybe MS is trying to tell us there's no point in using Sub Main() anymore,
it's fine to just use a startup forms _load or _activate event?

I think it must be because the images you're using aren't 32bit hence you
can't
tell the difference in quality.
Even 24bit isn't 32bit quality because of the alpha 8 bit channel despite
both being 16.7m colours.

news:Ow**************@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... Adam,
I use MenuStrip too, but it looks the same under both settings. I couldn't
mak a screen shot of it.
I did a small image from another couple of controls - Tab and Grid. See
attached.

news:%2****************@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...I hate XP style myself and even did not try to run under XP desktop
settings. After your answer I tryed and saw that many controls changed
their
appearance, but they still look fine. Just different than they are under
Classic settings. Now I need to check all controls, because my users
tastes
are not the same as mine, so they may use XP settings. So far I did not
find
any problem.

news:OM**************@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... Those are nice looking screens indeed.
In that case it must not affect all controls (the visuals going
downhill)
because on mine I have a menu strip
and tree view amongst other graphical control and both suffered visual
loss when turning off the framework.
On one side .NET seems easier than VB6 but on the other there's many
places to just ask ?????'s
about even simple things.
At least we can still use the Win32API if unsure and I'm sure it's
faster
than this freamework wrapper
interpreted code anyway.

Adam,
I have a very long experience with VB6, with VB2005 I'm just starting.
I
did
already several nice looking forms with Infragistics and did not notice
any
visual problem.
I cannot be sure that turning on or off Enable Application Framework
may
affect visual stuff. Maybe it's related somehow, but as I said I do not
see
problems yet.
I tried to attached a couple of screen shots , but they are not
accepted
by the server (sizes 50 K and 90 K - to make them smaller to make them
look worse).
