VS 2003 vs 2005 Startup properties

[Rob]

In VS2003 you had the option to select "Sub Main" as the Startup Object

It appears this option is not present in VS2005...

Is this the case ?

Thanks !

You must turn off the application framework first - then Sub Main will
show up in the startup object drop down. You'll probably want to add
"Application.EnableVisualStyles()" and maybe even
"Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(False)" to your Sub
Main to add back the features removed by unchecking the application
framework.

Instead of doing that... where would be a better palce to put some startup
code that applies to the whole program ?

Example... I place some code here to ensure that only 1 instance of the
program is running...

If thats all your sub main does, just scrap it and check the "Make a
single instance application" on the application framework options box.

Do you see any case for not starting with a form ?

Do you see any case for not starting with a form ?

For your project or any project?

Thanks,

For any project that would be of the "Windows Application" type ?

Just want to know if there are some good cases for doing this...

For example I have an application that shows a splash screen, updates
any dll files, registers a user with a database, grabs the appropriate
user settings, loads the main form into memory, hides the splash, and
finally shows the main form.
