program has initial error on start up but runs ok

[paulotuatail]

Hi I have written programs in VB since VB1. I have been writing in vb.net and wanted to move to C# as my first language was 'C'

This program compiles. when run initialy I get a warning message

Unhandeled exception has occured If you click continue the app will ignore the error.

It does and it runs fine. It is only one form and about 50 lines of code. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong it seems as just an ititialisation problem. the first part of the error description is

***** Error msg *****

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I realise that it was in the wrong place now. What I wanted to do was on the form initialise to set it's position and to change the caption as well as the icon.

In VB.net if I click on a control the properties shows the name of the control and other properties. When I click on the form I do not get this. It is still the last control on the form I clicked on.

It's as if the form is not a control in itself. I need an initialise event for the form and code that would acheve all this.

In my main procect I have Form1.cs so should I say Form1.left = 200;

I can't get any of tthis working.

TIA

Why are you trying to use the events of a CONTROL to set the properties of
the FORM? Just use the Load (or Shown) event of the form and do

this.Top = 0;
