How to setup a startup form in Visual Studio using C#

Question

_{Thursday, May 6, 2010 9:03 PM | 1 vote}

Hello Guru,

I'm newbie to C#.

I am using Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and create a project that has several win forms.

For instance:

• frmMain.cs
• frmProject.cs
• frmVendorAgreement.cs
• frmAgreement.cs

I run into problems to setup a startup form because I did not see my win froms displayed in Startup Object list.

Here is my steps:

1. Right click on Project

2. ApplicationStartup object:

Can someone help and advice.

Thanks,

Edwin

Hi,

In the program.cs you can mention the startup form. For eg., if u want to set frmMain as startup project then the code should be,

static class Program
  {
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
      Application.EnableVisualStyles();
      Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
      Application.Run(new frmMain());
    }
  }

Hi,

what Type of C# Project you have? On a normal Windows Form Application, you can specify the Startup Form within your Main Function (normaly located in Program.cs).
