Silly Newbie Problem [RESOLVED]

I have an app with a Sub Main in a module which instantiates and shows a form like this:

VB Code:

Public Sub Main()
  Dim frm As frmMain
 
  frm = new frmMain
  frm.Show()
 
End Sub

However, when I run my application, the form flashes up, disappears and my application ends.

How can I make the application remain running until my form has unloaded (like VB6 did)?

in vb6, it did not run the way usual programs do.. which is when all forms are closed the program ends, in vb.net now, when the main procedure is over, so is your program.

You need to create a Do Loop
You can make this end when your form goes invisible, or just using a boolean value

VB Code:

frm.show
Do while frm.visible = True
 application.doevents
Loop

VB Code:

Dim frm As frmMain
 
  frm = new frmMain
  'frm.Show()
  Application.Run(frmMain)
