Application initialization event?

I need to program a one-time application initialization event for a windows
form app, similar to what one might do in global.asa were one programming a
web app.

Our scenario is that we are using .NET remoting with a Win32 client to a
remote HTTP server. I need to invoke the remoting.config file once per user
session. Were this a web app, we would simply program Application_OnStart
as follows:

Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

RemotingConfiguration.Configure(HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicat
ionPath & "\remoting.config")

End Sub


Is there an equivalent global event for Win32? Which files do I have to add
to my Win32 client project?

TIA.

Add this code to a module file and select 'Sub Main' as startup object in
the project properties:

\\\
Public Module Program
Public SubMain(ByVal Args() As String)
For Each Arg As String In Args
Console.WriteLine(Arg)
Next Arg
End Sub
End Module
///

Execution of winforms applications is straightforward. There more than one
places where you can put your initialization code:
1. In the main method, before Application.Run method code
2. In the main form costructor
3. Handling Form.Load event (or alternatively overriding Form's OnLoad
virtual method)
