I am using the asp.net web forms and whenever I want to edit the MyWebPage.aspx.vb file to add something in the Page_Load subroutine, I have to add a temporary asp button or something like that and double click it. Is there a shortcut to open it??
Thanks for your answer!
If you hover over the buttons at the top of the Solution Explorer pane, one of them is "Show all files". Click that, and you will be able to expand MyWebPage.aspx to show the MyWebPage.aspx.vb file.
Alternatively, you can use "View" menu -> "Code" if you have MyWebPage.aspx showing in the designer.

Whenever i click start on a VS project, it opens with the default form set in properties. How do i change it so that form i am working on is loaded instead of the properties startup form. I am using VS2013 Ultimate.
You can open the Project Designer window by right-clicking My Project in the Solution Explorer window and then clicking Open on the context menu. Or, you can click Project on the menu bar and then click Properties on the menu.
1.
Right-click My Project in the Solution Explorer window, and then click Open to open the Project Designer window.
2.
Auto-hide the Solution Explorer window.
3.
If necessary, click the Application tab to display the Application pane. If frmMain does not appear in the Startup form list box, click the Startup form list arrow and then click frmMain in the list.
I have been working with "visual basic.net" on a "windows forms" application. While manipulating controls and adding event handlers I noticed the resultant code was being generated within a file named 'main.designer.vb'. However, if I look in the solution explorer for my project there is no 'main.designer.vb' file, just 'main.vb'.
This is not a colossal problem as it runs properly. However, having closed the 'form designer' window I now cannot reopen it! 'main.vb' has no option to 'view in form designer'.
Any advice on this?
Would it be possible to copy the contents of 'main.designer.vb' in to 'main.vb' and delete 'main.designer.vb' entirely? If I did this, the next time I manipulated the form would the code be added to 'main.vb' or would a new 'main.designer.vb' be created?
I seem to have sorted out the problem.
'main.vb' was completely empty. All the code I had generated and written directly was inside 'main.designer.vb'. However, once I made a class definition within 'main.vb':
Public Class main
End Class
and then cut/pasted all my custom event handler code and subroutines from 'main.designer.vb' to THAT class - all was well. 'main.vb' now shows the correct form icon and FINALLY offers the correct 'view designer' context menu option.
I am not sure why it happened in the first place though.
Look in the Solution Explorer in Visual Studio. In the toolbar in this window is a button called "Show all files". Click it.
Then every file in the projects folder is actually shown in the solution explorer. Expand the treenodes for the form and you will see the designer.vb.
There are also buttons for switching between code-view and designer view. Just remember to select the form in the solution explorer for the buttons to show the correct form in the designer.
How do I set form number four as the default form that will run when I press on f5 in visual studio 2008. Because form 1 will always be the first to start
Right-click on your project in solution explorer.
Choose properties.
Select the Application Tab.
Select your form from the dropdown under 'startup form'
In the Project Properties, there's a field called "Startup form" - select your form in there.
Right-click your Project within the Solution Explorer.
Choose Properties.
Select the Web tab on the left-hand side.
Under the Start Page section, define the Specific Page you would
like to default to when the application is launched.
Save your changes.

The other solutions work, but they will disable the use of ApplicationEvents like Startup, because the startup object has to be Sub Main for those to work.
To change the form started by Sub Main, do the following:
Close your project in Visual Studio.
Open your project's folder in explorer.
In it, open folder My Project.
Open Application.myapp with any text editor.
Change the form between the <MainForm> tags to your (new) main forms name.
Save and close.
Open ApplicationDesigner.vb with any text editor.
Find the following line and change YourMainFormsName to your (new) main forms name:
Protected Overrides Sub OnCreateMainForm()
Me.MainForm = Global.YourProjectsName.YourMainFormsName
End Sub
Save and close.
Open your project again and start it up. The startup form should have changed.
In my case, it doesn't work immediately from project properties. I have to close the solution and re-open it in order to see the latest form you have created and if you intend to make a startup object.
i want to see the designer code ..
i want to see how myForm is generated using or extending form
i mean in C# i can see the code in designer.cs file...but in vb.net i am nt able to see that..
In VB.Net, in order to see the designer files, you have to click the toggle button above the solution explorer (show all files).
hai
i create usercontrols in vb.net txtbox,button,namelist edit grid and userform. all contrils working properly. but user form not working. how to use this userform.please give any idea.
You don't use the toolbox to create a new form. Use the menu:
Project | Add Windows Form...
Alternatives.
You are running VB.NET 2005.
You have a project with a form "Form1".
You can see a menu: File, Edit, View, Project, ...
In the Project menu is a menu item Add Windows Form....
Tell me which step doesn't work.
