Form Load

[lothos12345]

In VB.NET does the Form_Load event still function. I try to tell the program to execute code as the form loads but nothing is happening. Is Form_Load still optional? Any help with this question would be greatly appreciated.

You can't simply make a sub called Form_Load; it needs to be told to handle the event. Assuming you have the IDE, choose '(Base Class Events)' from the top-left combo in the code window, and choose 'Load' from the right one. The IDE will wire the event for you. You should take notice that it requires a sender object (that's the object that invoked the event), an eventargs object (used as an alternative to a list of parameters), and a Handles statement to tell it the actual event to handle. You no longer need for the sub to be called Form_Load; you can call it anything you want as long as you tell it to Handle Form.Load.
