• Smart Device Development Pocket Office on emulator

• .NET Development Add Attachments To Exchange Contacts programmatically

• Visual Studio Express Editions Splashscreen Close/closing events do not fire

  I've played around with the new ability (in VB2005) to use a splashscreen, but have found that certain events don't fire on the designated splashscreen form (I've posted this question before but with no, ahem, useful response, so I'd thought I'd try one more time). It can be replicated by adding a splash screen to a new (empty) windows application, and monitoring the Closing and Closed events of the splashscreen form (I usually put debug statements there), In addition to monitoring the VisibilityChanged event. The splash screen loads fine, then vanishes (after the default 2000ms) as the main form appears. However, the closing and clos ...Show All
