Starting the App

[papa_k]

My app. has no errors but when i go to run it i have the following problem and it litterally flashes on the screen with first form and then dissapears.

The program '[308] TestDatabase.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

 

I have tried to step through it using F10 and it doesn't help explain what the hell is going on...

 

This was a VB6 app that has been converted to a .Net app.

 

What have a missed?

[Robby]

It could be any number of things when converting from a VB6 app. Does the project compile?

[papa_k]

Yeh it does, i have included what it does when i use F10 to step through the code.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Option Strict Off

Option Explicit On

Friend Class frmSplash

Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

#Region "Windows Form Designer generated code "

Public Sub New()

MyBase.New()

If m_vb6FormDefInstance Is Nothing Then

If m_InitializingDefInstance Then

m_vb6FormDefInstance = Me

Else

Try

'For the start-up form, the first instance created is the default instance.

If System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.EntryPoint.DeclaringType Is Me.GetType Then

m_vb6FormDefInstance = Me

End If

End Try

End If

End If

'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.

InitializeComponent()

End Sub

 

 

 

THEN.............

Dim strMessage As String

On Error GoTo ErrHandler '*****************goes to here and stops (i have a break point)

 

strMethod = "Login Load"

strLogin = GetSetting("SRDB", "UserName", "UserName")

 

frmLogin.DefInstance.txtUserName.Text = strLogin

 

Exit Sub

 

ErrHandler:

 

strMessage = "Error occured in " & strMethod & vbCrLf & Err.Number & " : " & Err.Description

basSRDB.Error_Logging(strMessage)

 

End Sub

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Private Sub tmTimer_Tick(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal eventArgs As System.EventArgs) Handles tmTimer.Tick

lblWarning.Text = "Connected"

frmSplash.DefInstance.Close()

frmLogin.DefInstance.Show() '*****************It then jumps to here

End Sub '******* At this point the app. just closes!

 

 

 

 

hope this helps, i haven't a clue!

[Robby]

For the small amount of code you have, you can easily re-write it in .NET. (without using the VB6 compatabilty library, a much better learn)

[papa_k]

I have a lot of code, it took over two and a half hours to convert to .net from vb6 on a 1Ghz and half a gig ram.

 

the thing works fine in VB 6.

[papa_k]

Enough is enough...

 

i thought that converting to .Net would be a good idea but at the moment i think..

 

"If it aint broke....don't fix it"

 

I think i am going to have to keep it as a VB6 program.

 

:(

[divil]

There are any number of threads here on the evils of upgrading code automatically. The general concensus is, don't do it.

[Robby]

If it's a large complex application I would recommend leaving it in its' VB6 environment.

 

Perhaps when you feel your skills are at a level adaquite for the upgrade, you can then re-code the app youself. (Instead of using the wizard)

[papa_k]

Cheers Guys.

 

Thought that it might be the case.
