I am unfamiliar with the book but some things to check:
If you have a solution that has multiple projects make sure that the Windows project is the startup project (the project with your forms). To set a project as the start up project, right click on it in the solution explorer and select "Set as startup project" from the properties menu.
If your project contains nothing but .
VB files, you can not run this project, you can only grab the .dll that is in your bin directory and use it in other applications.
