Conversion Problem (VB.Net)

Topic

New Reply

I converted a VB 6.0 app to VB.net and most of it works OK. However, I find several comments warning that an event may fire when the form is initialized. The Help file says to add an IsInitializing property to the form and then set it to True in the form’s constructor just prior to the InitializeComponent call. However, I don’t find any IsInitializing property listed in the form’s properties, and I don’t find an InitializeComponent call anywhere in my converted code.

I’m still a raw beginner with VB.Net, so I’m sure I must be missing something. Any suggestions as to how to implement this suggestion?

I would guess that the instructions you are referring to mean to add your OWN property to the form.

Public Property IsInitiliasing …

Or something similar. Even just a module level variable would probably do the trick.

You’ll want to look in the automatically generated region to find the Initialize method. It’s collapsed by default.

Like Jayden suggests, you’ll want to create your own Public Property IsInitializing. You can set it to true when the Initialize method fires, then false when it completes.
