Winform change between beta 1 and October CTP

Thursday, November 25, 2004

FYI. I just went back to a winforms application in beta 1. It ran fine in beta 1, but when I opened it in the October CTP bits, I got a complaint from the MyApplication.vb file.

Here is what the file looked like in the beta1 bits.

Option Strict On
Option Explicit On

Namespace My

    Partial Class MyApplication
        Inherits System.Windows.Forms.WindowsFormsApplicationBase

        <Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Public Sub New()
            MyBase.New(System.Windows.Forms.AuthenticationMode.Windows)
            Me.IsSingleInstance = false
            Me.EnableVisualStyles = true
            Me.ShutDownStyle = System.Windows.Forms.ShutdownMode.AfterMainFormCloses
        End Sub

        <Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Protected Overrides Sub OnCreateMainForm()
            Me.MainForm = My.Forms.Form1
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace

With the october CTP bits, the file needs to look a little more like this:

Option Strict On
Option Explicit On

Namespace My

Partial Class MyApplication

        <Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Public Sub New()
            MyBase.New(ApplicationServices.AuthenticationMode.Windows)
            Me.IsSingleInstance = False
            Me.EnableVisualStyles = True
            Me.ShutdownStyle = ApplicationServices.ShutdownMode.AfterMainFormCloses
        End Sub

        <Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Protected Overrides Sub OnCreateMainForm()
            Me.MainForm = My.Forms.Form1
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace

By making the changes, I was able to compile my application. I hope this was helpful. Obviously, I have no idea how well this will work against future versions.
