Trouble with Forms

Hello,

I'm about to start working my way through a two O'Reilly books; Learning Visual Basic .NET and Programming .NET Windows Applications. I was playing with the latter this afternoon using the new VB Express Beta 2. The following code I could not get to work and I think it is something to do with the difference between .NET 1 and 2. The book examples are in .NET 1.


Imports System.Windows.Forms

Namespace ProgrammingWinForms

   Public Class HelloWorld
       Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

       Public Sub New()
           Text = "Hello World"
       End Sub

       Shared Sub Main()
           Application.Run(New HelloWorld())
       End Sub
   End Class

End Namespace
 


When run, the form shown still has the title "Form1." If I add a title through the form designer it adds a new routine:


      Private Sub InitializeComponent()
           Me.SuspendLayout()
           '
           'HelloWorld
           '
           Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(292, 266)
           Me.Name = "HelloWorld"
           Me.Text = "Test Title"
           Me.ResumeLayout(False)

       End Sub
 


Could someone explain why the code the editor adds works

Thanks for any help,

    Hi,

    the InitializeComponent() Method is used by the WinForms Designer and added him even to .net 1.0 projects :)

    Hi Ralph,

    Thanks for your reply. The code example I left was incorrect. Sorry about that.

    Slightly different question; is vbc.exe included in the VB Express / .NET 2 download I can't find it on my system and I can't see a way in the IDE to build just single *.vb files.

    Thanks for any help. Smile

    I think you'll find that VBC.EXE is included with the framework.

    Check out the \windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ ....
