Sub Main

[David Schwartz]

In my Windows Forms app, I tried using a Sub Main as my startup object. The
problem I found is that as soon as the End Sub is reached, the app
terminates (even if I showed a form during the sub). Has anyone else seen
this? How can this be avoided, other than by using a form as the startup
object?

Thanks!

Hi David,

I am curious, are busy migratting from VB.net to VB6

However one of them
\\\\
Public Module Main
Public Sub Main
Application.Run(New Form1())
End Sub
End Module
////

This is by the way a standard part of the inheritted form class in every
form.

What should your application do? If everything is done in Sub Main, the
thread (and the application) ends. There's nothing more to do.

For Windows Forms applications:

\\\
Public Class AppMain
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim f As New MainForm()
Application.Run(f)
End Sub
End Class
///

If form f then shows another form g and f is closed, will the app remain
open?
Thanks.

Wanted to write the same, but I read "(even if I showed a form during the
sub)" and thought that he actually doesn't show a Form - but let's wait for
David's reply.

No. In this case, for example:
