How to start this app?

I have a method in a class that is reading an authority database... and depending on what kind of auth-class it find I want to open a certain form in my windows app... My problem is that I have no clue what I should use as startup point?

I have forms 1 2 and 3. Let's say I add the check-method in form_load in form 1. It discovers that it should only show form 2. Then I have to close form 1 and never load form 3...


I load forms with

dim myAdminform as new AdminForm

....
...

Am I going on about it the wrong way? Im used to asp.net development :(

kind regards

You should be starting from a Sub Main which checks the type and loads just only the one form that is needed. Sub Main can be in a class or a Module and set it as the start point from the project properties. You also have to show the form modally or call Application.Run after it so the application knows to stay open. Something like this:

VB Code:

Public Module StartUp
 
   Public Sub Main()
 
       Dim auth As String=GetAuthClass
       Select Case auth
         Case "Admin"
               Application.Run(New frmHighLevel)
          Case "Other"
               Application.Run(New frmMidLevel)
          Case Else
               Application.Run(New frmLowLevel)
       End Select
 
   End Sub
 
End Module

Shame on me, I found out this by myself about 5 minutes after posting it... well now others can share the answer anyway ;)
