How to choose start class?

[Diego F.]

Hello. I have a windows forms application with one form. I added other class
files too. By default, the applications starts in the form class, but I want
it to start from other class. How can I do that?

 

[Diego F.]

Ok, I found it. I can choose it from the project properties page. I had to
uncheck 'Enable application framework' and then I can choose any file as
startup object.

Hi Diego,

Right click the project and choose "properties". On the application tab you
should find a drop-down list to choose which form you want to set as the
startup instance.

Diego,

Be aware that you only can start from a module or a shared class (which is
in fact a module)

?!?

VB.NET does not support shared classes (and no, I do not consider modules to
be shared classes). However, the 'Main' method can be specified in a class
if the *method* is marked as 'Shared'.

Yes you are right, however this is a newsgroup, not a documentation system.

In this newsgroup I can find plenty of messages, as well from Herfried K.
Wagner, where we talk about a shared class as the members are shared. And
because of the fact that it is impossible to build a class in VB.Net with
non shared public members a lot of us call that a shared class.

I feel sorry, but I really do not understand the last sentence. VB.NET does
not support the concept of a shared class for which the compiler enforces
all members to be marked as 'Shared', as it is supported for static classes
in C#.
