Create my own window

[Gary Owsiany]

Until now I have been using the default "windows application" template to
create a new window. What I would like to do is play with dynamic window
creation. However, when I just create a class that contains sub Main() it
doesn't want to compile in the IDE. Is there some property I need to set?
The code below is what I want to use to create my window class. How can I
do it within the VisualStudio IDE?
Thanks,
Gary O.

Public Shared Sub Main()

Dim form1 As New Form

Dim form2 As New Form

form1.Text = "Form passed to Run()"

form2.Text = "Second form"

form2.Show()

Application.Run(form1)

MessageBox.Show("Application.Run() has returned " & _

"control back to Main. Bye, Bye!", "Two Forms")

End Sub

Why? Error message? Which project type did you choose (Windowsapplication,
consoleapplicatoin or classlibrary)?

Is
there some property I need to set? The code below is what I want to

VisualStudio IDE? Thanks,

Public Shared Sub Main()

Dim form1 As New Form

Dim form2 As New Form

form1.Text = "Form passed to Run()"

form2.Text = "Second form"

form2.Show()

Application.Run(form1)

MessageBox.Show("Application.Run() has returned " & _

"control back to Main. Bye, Bye!", "Two Forms")

End Sub

The code looks fine. What did you choose as the startup object in the
project properties?

\\\
Public Class AppMain
///

Public Shared Sub Main()

Dim form1 As New Form

Dim form2 As New Form

form1.Text = "Form passed to Run()"

form2.Text = "Second form"

form2.Show()

Application.Run(form1)

MessageBox.Show("Application.Run() has returned " & _

"control back to Main. Bye, Bye!", "Two Forms")

End Sub

\\\
End Class
///

In the project properties dialog set 'AppMain' as startup object.
