Start in Sub Main() 1

[Andrzejek]

Venturing back to VB.NET (2022) world after many years in VB6
I would like to create a (Windows) Project, but start in [tt]Sub Main()[/tt] instead of Form1 since I do not need any forms/controls/etc. or any user input at all.

How do I do that in VB.NET 2022

Properties, Application, uncheck "Enable Application Framework", and Form start up will change to object startup.

Thank you SaltyTheFrog
Here is what I did in VB.NET 2022:

Create a new project
Windows Form App
-- type the name of your App --
Project - YourApp Properties
Application - General - Starup-object
(Starup-object already points to Sub Main, although App starts up with Form1)

Application Framework
un-check (Enable the Visual Basic Application Framework for this Projects...)
(Back to) Startp-object
Select: Sub Main

Project - Add Module...
(Name your Module if needed, Add)
Add code in Module:

[pre]
Sub Main()
MessageBox.Show("Hello World")
End Sub
[/pre]
In Solution Explorer, right-click Form1.vb - Delete - OK
Run your Project

Hi Andy,
Is it some utility program that is run by Windows Scheduler, or manually?
Then you might want to consider making it a Console App.
Just a thought.
HTH.

Been away from vb.net for a while but I believe this is an easy fix.
(1) Open your project.
(2) Select the [Project } tab from top row
(3) Select [ Properties ] which should be at the bottom of the drop down list
(4) If the application form isn't showing select [ Application ] from the left column
(5) On the application form look for Startup Form, Select the form wanted from the drop down list

MikeCt, Andy does not want to start with a Form ...
