Mixed application console/windows.forms??

Can anyone tell me why this is not working

I'm creating a console application that performs a few system tasks. One of the things it does is check the registry for a certain key. If the key is not found then it displays a windows form that allows the user to input a value that will be inserted into the registry.

I want the console application to look for the closing of the form and then move on. My form displays ok, and even writes the key to the registry, but when I close the form the console never performs the action below.
This is what I have.
<hr>
'Console
<color="blue">
            Try
                prm = key.GetValue("parameters")
            Catch ex As Exception
            End Try

            If (prm Is Nothing Or prm.Equals("")) Then
                Dim sForm As New pForm
                If (sForm.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) Then
                    Console.WriteLine("Parameters saved!")
                End If
            Else
                Console.WriteLine("All files found!")
            End If
</color>
<hr>
'Form
<color="blue">
    Private Sub BtnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnSave.Click
        Dim key As RegistryKey
        Try
            key = Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey("SOFTWARE\POSExport\Settings")
            key.SetValue("parameters", Me.TxtLoc.Text)
        Catch ex As Exception
            Dim sw As New StreamWriter("Errors.txt")
            sw.Write(ex.ToString)
            sw.Close()
        End Try
    End Sub

    Private Sub BtnCLose_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnCLose.Click
        Me.Close()
    End Sub
</color>

I figured it would be something simple. I didn't know that you could manually set the DialogResults. Thanks again cwilliams. I changed my code and everything is working as it should now.

The code in the snippet you provided never sets the form's DialogResult property to DialogResult.OK. Therefore, "Parameters saved!" will never print to the console.

Also, if the form's only purpose is to specify the registry value, I would close the form in BtnSave_Click. Otherwise, you would need to check a flag of some sort or look for the registry value in BtnClose_Click to make sure the information was actually saved.

Other than that, I don't see any problems that would keep the code from continuing to run.
