changing the startup form

[steve_rm]

Hello,

I am creating an application. But now i have added a login form, which i want now to be the new startup form.

I am not sure how to change the startup form. I have tried going through all the properties, but can't seem to change it to the new login form.

Many thanks in advance

Steve

The form with the Main() usually goes first. However you can force another form to open first by opening your login form in the FORM_LOAD of the main form. Just make sure once the login does its thing, you close that form, or else the main form wont run.


private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
FormName frm = new FormName();
frm.ShowDialog(); // This prevents the other form from loading
frm.Dispose(); // The release any resources used by the form
}
