could someone please suggest to me another way to work around sub main? I am
currently migrating 6.0 codes over to .net. as soon as sub main() ran, vb
ends the application immediately. So I moved my codes to over to my splash
screen form. Made my project preference to run from splash screen as start
up. after the splash screen is shown, I ordered it to show my next screen by
calling to a new instance of that new screen. However, no matter what I do,
my program failed to display my next screen. My application keeps ending
itself.

Is there another way to work around these issues? Thanks.

Do you have Application.Run call in your main?

Ben,

As alternative for the method showed by Herfried.

Instead of making your splash form your mainform, I use always one mainform,
that one starts by instance in the load event my splash screen as
\\\
dim splash as new splashform
splash.show
....do actions eventualy with a threading.thread.sleep(x)
splash.close
///

In the VBNet form class is build in (as it was in VB6) an automatic sub main

You can set that mainform in your application properties with setting the
startup object

I hope this helps,

Cor

Thanks a lot for the helps guys, I got it works.
