From: Miro on 17 Sep 2009 10:02 After clicking on the "View Application Events"...I think I found what I wanted by registering the dll in the Startup Private Sub MyApplication_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.StartupEventArgs) Handles Me.Startup Seems to work ok...

I wouldn't put it in any part of the application itself, I'd do it as part of an installer process. Putting that code into the application is likely to cause UAC prompts on Win Vista/7 as your app will need elevated rights to perform that action. If you're talking about a utility for personal use it's probably no big deal, but if you're talking about a corporate app or something you're selling to desktop users, I wouldn't recommend it. > Are there any big drawbacks to unchecking "use application framework"? Personally I never use it and have never missed any of the functionality; I always prefer to take control from the exact entry point (i.e. Sub Main) rather than assigning start up forms. HTH, Alex
From: Miro on 17 Sep 2009 20:37 What about using the application events and put it into the startup? Or you are saying you would still just put it into the main form's Public Sub New() just after the initialize component?

What is the scenario where you want to register a dll at application startup? -- Mike
From: Patrice on 18 Sep 2009 04:25 Another option could be : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms973913.aspx Basically you can use a COM dll without registering it... Generally a DLL is registered at setup time as it usually requires admin rights... -- Patrice "Miro" <miro(a)beero.com> a �crit dans le message de groupe de discussion : uqmkT65NKHA.1236(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Thanks FamilyTreeMike, that worked. > I can now put a 'debugger' stop on my code and it works. > > One side question, > > If I have to Register a dll.... > > Do I have to put it into the "SUB MAIN", in which case I must uncheck "use > application framework" ? > Are there any big drawbacks to unchecking "use application framework"? > > Thanks, > > Miro > > > "Family Tree Mike" <FamilyTreeMike(a)ThisOldHouse.com> wrote in message > news:uIpXxlzNKHA.1280(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >> Miro wrote: >>> I am trying to follow the following example: >>> >>> http://www.getdotnetcode.com/GdncStore/free/Articles/VB%20NET%20Sub%20Main%20Procedure.htm >>> on adding things to my own 'sub main'. >>> >>> I created a form project and added Form1 and Form2 to the project. >>> >>> Then in the project property's the startup form is setup as form1.
