Missing Sub Main in Chapter One, Exercise One

mmcdonal · October 25th, 2004, 07:56 AM

Okay, I followed the instructions starting on Page 26, Step 1, through Step 5 on Page 28. When I ran the app, I get an error message that there is no Sub Main for the app so it has to be rebuilt.

Also, when I followed Step one and tried to rename the form, it shows as HelloUser in the Name property, but it still shows as Form1 on the Project Explorer.

Total newbie, eh? I can do VBA and VBScript pretty well, so I'm not a newbtard anyway.

I loaded a copy of Visual Basic .NET on another computer and tried the first part of the first exercise in chapter one and it won't work there either.

I've canned the book and moved on to another beginning vb.net book.

I followed the example from Chapter 1 and didn't have any trouble. Are you using Visual Studio 2003 or the original release of Visual Studio?

One thing that you could check is to right click on the project in the Solution Explorer and choose Properties from the context menu and then ensure that the form is selected in the Startup Object combo box.

Hi, thanks. I am using both 2003 and 2002. Neither one works. I will try your suggestions and post back.

Thanks, that worked. I am wondering why something like this was not covered in the book?

This shouldn't be a problem and I do not know why you are experiencing it. I'm glad I could help.
