Yep, no problem.

Newbie Question on Tutorial

Keith Courneyea — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 08:57:29 GMT

I've followed along the instructions for the tutorial. When I go to run it, it just flickers slightly, then takes me back to the IDE. No error messages. I tried putting a breakpoint on the 1st line in Sub Main. The breakpoint is never reached.

I've been having similar problems with some of the sample apps as well. I'm using SQL Express

The BOM works fine and the database connection is correct. I've also deleted the connection.dat file a couple of times thinking that may be the problem.

I'll give that a whirl... Also will try it on my laptop where SF is also installed.

Thanks for helping out this newbie

Well, I'm not sure what to tell you. What you might try doing is just abandoning the tutorial project that you're on and creating a new one from the temlpate. When you have the new project created, you can right-click on the project node within the Solution Explorer and select Add Existing Item... Then browse to the old tutorial project's location and select the Form1.vb and BusinessObject1.vb (and any other files that you added). Oh, and don't worry about selecting the .designer.vb or the .resx files because they will be pulled in automatically.

Sometimes with development, you can't explain why something went haywire, and you just have to scrap it and start a new project and manually add all the files back.

Yep, the newly created project runs OK. I did have to cancel the connection dialog.

below is from the Output window... So how would I go about figuring out what's up with the tutorial? I'm not sure where to begin since there isn't an exception thrown.

OK, so it works in a regular .NET program, but the SF template doesn't work on your computer? If you just create a new SF project and immediately run it without changing anything does it run? (you can cancel the connection string wizard if it pops up...)

RE: Newbie Question on Tutorial

Keith Courneyea — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 09:44:00 GMT

Thanks, that worked

RE: Newbie Question on Tutorial

StrataFrame Team — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 09:31:30 GMT

Ah, try chaning the Form1.Show() to this:

System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(New Form1())

That will cause it to break until the form is closed. If you don't do that, then the app will just fall through and shutdown.

RE: Newbie Question on Tutorial

Keith Courneyea — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 12:00:44 GMT

Well I did create just a standard Windows app. I created the Public Shared Sub Main() and set the projects properties up to use Sub Main.

[codesnippet]

Public Class AppClass

Public Shared Sub Main()

MessageBox.Show("Sub main message")

Form1.Show()

End Sub

End Class

[/codesnippet]

When I run this from the IDE all I get is a flicker, then get sent back to the IDE. I located the exe file and ran that. Oddly enough, the message box shows, then the flicker, then nothing. Below is my VS version info. Probably something's messed up with VS

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727

Installed Edition: Professional

Well, Keith, I'm not sure what to tell you. It doesn't look like an exception is being thrown. If you create a new application (just a plain jane Windows Application) and you set the properties to use the Sub Main() (you'll have to manually create a Public Shared Sub Main() somewhere because the template won't create one) and see if it can hit a breakpoint in that.

I checked the project properties. All is set to what you described. Below is from the Output window. The Immediate Window stayed blank...

If you're not reaching the break point at the top of Sub Main(), then you might check the properties of the project. On the Application tab, you should have the Enable Application Framework unchecked, and the Startup Object should say Sub Main. If those are correct, then check the Immediate window and the Output window; one of them might list an error that might give you a clue.
