Hi CJ,

in 2005 if you type 'Public Sub New' in the .vb file and press return the editor will auto-generate the code:-

Public Sub New()

' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()

' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.

End Sub

You can add your code after the 'Add any....' comment

In a project done in 2003 about a year ago I was told to add the SocketWrench code below into the Windows Form Designer generated code area as shown below.

#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "

Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()

'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()

'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

socket = New SocketWrenchCtl.SocketWrench
If socket.Initialize("ELMO") <> 0 Then
Throw New System.Exception("Unable to initialize control")
End If

End Sub

I'm completing a 2005 program now that was so similar I copied many parts of the old 2003 program but I'm not sure what to do with this code. I know 2005 keeps the Windows Form Designer generated code somewhere but I really don't want to add it there unless it is really necessary. Apparently it can go in Form1_Load but I'm not sure that's appropriate. Where should I put it in 2005? Pros and cons?
