VB WinForms Application doesn't inherit from WindowsFormsApplicationBase

[Richard Coltrane]

Hi there,

Just out of curiosity....

Looking into Application.designer.vb as part of MyProject i see

Partial Friend Class MyApplication

<Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()> _
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New(Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationMode.Windows)
...

End Sub
...

End Class

how come this class class doesn't or should i say "where does this class"
inherit from WindowsFormsApplicationBase? I can see thats its partial and
that its calling mybase.new but wheres the rest?
Ive looked into the directory using windows explorer but still cant find it.
Is this part of the visual studio/ vb compiler hoo doo voodoo?

thanks
richard

The Application.myapp file is processed by a custom tool that does not
generate design-time source code like the others do.
