Re: Windows Form Designer generated code

It's a TCP/IP server program and the control is a 3rd party com object that raises and event when a TCP/IP connection is attempted to the machine. I'd say I want it started only after the program is up and running so I guess form1_load is ok.

Hi Cj,

In VS.NET 2003, the part of 'Windows Form Designer generated code' contains a constructor and the InitializeComponent method, and these code is located in the form.vb file.

In VS 2005, there're some differences. Firstly, the part of 'Window Form Designer generated code' does not contain a constructor. Secondly, these code are moved to a separate file -- form.designer.vb, in order to make the code of the form look neat.

As Martin has suggested, we could add a constructor in the form.vb file by ourselves.

Constructor is called before the Load event handler of the form. You could put your initialization code either in the constructor or the Load event handler of the form. It depends on what kind of the initialization code is.

If you'd like to create an object that has a precedence relation to other objects in the form or do some crucial checking, I suggest that you place the initialization code in the constructor. Otherwise, you could place the code in the constructor or the Load event handler.

Hope this helps.
If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.


Sincerely,
