Add new form and make it the startup form?

Hello,

I created a project with buttons, textboxes, etc... and ran it. Then I added a new form that will be a splash screen. How do I make the splash screen form startup first?

Thanks!

Hi.

I don't have VS in front of me at the moment, so this is from memory...

In the Solution Explorer, right-click your project and select properties.

In there, you can select the startup object; e.g. frmSplash.

I tried that, but the frmSplash does not show up in the list and when I type it in, I get an error.

hmmm, strange. I got my VS up and running in the meantime, and I have checked a few project's, and I can choose from all the forms in the project.

Can you make an instance of it and display it by the click of a button in runtime?

It sounds like the form is not included in the project.

Actually, I believe you are right. I am trying to do this in C# rather than VB.NET. I assumed it would be the same, but apparently not. I will post in the C# forum and see what happens.

thanks!
