How to Setup Startup Form in a VB.NET DLL Object

[ThEiMp]

Hello I am looking to have a Startup Form, which is named: frmMain, to be setup as the Master Startup Form for my DLL Object Project. However I am unable to do this on my own power, I need more steam to do so, also that looking at the Object's Project, that I know how to do this in Visual Basic, but then unable to do this in the .NET version of Visual Basic. Can I please have some help, that I require...

!! Thanks in advance !!

You can't set the startup object for a DLL. Any initialisation needs to be done in "sub new":

Class Class1
   Sub New()
      REM Put your initialization code here.
   End Sub
End Class

In short, you don't. DLLs don't have an entry point the way an EXE project would, so there's no startup form setting. While you can have forms in DLLs and you can invoke them... I'm not sure what you mean by "the Master Startup Form for my DLL Object Project" ... Also the constructor as Peter noted is for a class... not the DLL... so you'd have to have it for each class... but I'm not convinced a form is the right way to go in any case. I'd probably get plenty ticked if I got hit with a form everytime I instanciated a class.

Well I am trying to write a System FRIENDLY bho.dll console, that I have half written in Visual Basic 6.00 and then moved it onto the newer pastures of the VB.NET Framework. I also have the registration command, which I have to invoke every time the URL is accessed and then when the WebBrowser is closed then I have to use that space of time to remove the registration of the bho.dll from the current machine...

!! Thanks in helping me in this problem of mine !!

Right I have implemented the New handler into the DLL's Project, as what you have said to do. Also frmMain = a Form, so then do I called that using: frmMain.Show(Me) or not???
