'Sub Main' was not found. Service management console application error? - vb.net

There is possibly a few things wrong with the below. Haven't had a chance to test/debug the code yet as can't run it. It stating that no main method has been found. But there is? i've even changed it to shared etc. It's probably something obvious?
It's flagging - 'Sub Main' was not found in 'ConsoleApplication1.Module1' error.
Also the main method wasn't always a separate class, I was just trying stuff. I'm importing a reference - system.processes. Was initially created as a vb.form but realised i didn't want the form part and recreated as a console app (which is very possibly where the problem lies as it's one of the first console apps i've done).
Code is basically planned to act on a service dying. Report and try and manage the restart (not finished, ideas welcome).

Event 'Load' cannot be found

Getting the error "Event 'Load' cannot be found" referring to "Handles MyBase.Load" Please see attached code. Any help much appreciated!
I have many other applications set up the same way and they all work. However, these were in an older version of Visual Studio.
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Imports System, System.IO
Imports System.Text
Public Class Form1
Private Sub cleanXMLDialog_Load(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal
eventArgs As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Main()
End
End Sub
Public Sub Main()
Dim directories() As String = Directory.GetDirectories("C:\")
Dim files() As String = Directory.GetFiles("C:\", "*.dll")
DirSearch("c:\")
End Sub
Sub DirSearch(ByVal sDir As String)
Dim d As String
Dim f As String
Try
For Each d In Directory.GetDirectories(sDir)
For Each f In Directory.GetFiles(d, "*.xml")
'Dim Response As String = MsgBox(f)
Debug.Write(f)
Next
DirSearch(d)
Next
Catch excpt As System.Exception
Debug.WriteLine(excpt.Message)
End Try
End Sub
End Class
Load should happen without this error.
This is the class declaration:
Public Class Form1
It looks like you intend this to inherit from a windows Form type, but there's nothing here to make that happen.
You may want this:
Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
but even this is unlikely to really accomplish anything. It's not enough just to inherit from the Form type if you don't have any controls are properties set and don't ever show the form.
Did you accidentally create a Console or Class Library project when you mean to create a WinForms project?

Error. .. Main not accessible by program

I wrote a module and into which a Public Sub Main method. But, when I run the program. It gives " No accessible 'Main' method with an appropriate signature was found in 'abc'."
Could you please suggest possible solutions to the error.
Public Sub Main(ByVal cmdArgs As String)
Dim returnValue As Integer
If cmdArgs.Length > 0 Then
returnValue = Import_Start(cmdArgs, "f9880")
Console.WriteLine("Import end with an error " & returnValue)
Else
Console.WriteLine("parameter failure")
End If
End Sub
End Module
If you want to start your app from a Sub Main, the correct signature is:
Public Sub Main(args As String())
' or
Public Sub Main()
The command line args will be passed as a string array. Yours just declares it as String resulting in the compiler error. You also need to set the StartUp object to Sub Main in Project Properties, but that already seems to have been done.
If you do not want/need to use a module you can add it to a form (it is not clear if this is even a WinForms app) using:
Public Shared Sub Main(args As String())
' or
Public Shared Sub Main()

Bootstrapper class not found in Nito.AsyncEx

Please see the answer to the following question: Can't specify the 'async' modifier on the 'Main' method of a console app
I am trying to do this with a VB.NET program. I have added the package using NUGET and I have ensured that the Reference is added. Please see the code below:
Imports Nito.AsyncEx
Public Class ScheduledTasks
Private Shared Async Sub MainAsync(args As String())
Dim bs As New Bootstrapper()
Dim list As VariantType = Await bs.GetList()
End Sub
End Class
The error is: Type BootStrapper is not found. I have used Intellisense to look at the types contained in Nito.AsyncEx and Bootstapper is not there? How do I create an asynchronous main method using VB.NET?
Bootstrapper is not a part of AsyncEx. AsyncContext is:
Imports Nito.AsyncEx
Public Class Program
Private Shared Sub Main(args As String())
AsyncContext.Run(Function() MainAsync(args))
End Sub
Private Shared Function MainAsync(args As String()) As Task
...
End Function
End Class

Error with DotNetOpenAuth2 with VB.Net

My new project demands the implementation OpenAuth. Following is my code.
The line
scopes.Add(CalendarService.Scopes.Calendar.GetStringValue())
in the GetAuthorization gives the following error.
Overload resolution failed because no accessible...
GetStringValue is the most specific for these argument. I can understand that GetStringValue is not the method/argument found in the calendarservice.scopes.calendar but my question is why so? I have downloaded this code from some website and most website is giving example in C# but there are hardly any site that is showing any example in VB.Net. Can anyone help me here.
Regards
P.S. I am using Visual Studio 2008.

GetStringValue is en extension method defined on Google.Apis.Util.Utilities.
Similar VB.NET code to this worked for me on VS2012 with the latest version of the library.
You can find my VB.NET sample in https://codereview.appspot.com/7007048/, but it still wasn't approved, so be careful using it.
In the samples repository (http://code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/source/browse/?repo=samples#hg%2FDiscovery.VB.ListAPIs), there is currently only one VB.NET sample, but hopefully the sample above will be approved soon and it will be added to the repository.
Please elaborate more on the references that you have in your project and the stack trace.
It looks like there is another overloading to this GetStringValue somewhere else (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2hx4ayzs(v=vs.80).aspx) in your code or in a reference assembly.

Windows service setup project custom dialog - how do i get the variables?

Quick question about a windows service, I've added a setup project for my Windows service, and ive added a custom dialog to it, with 4 text fields, but my question is how to i get these informations/variables?
Ive also added an installer for the windows service also, and afterwards the setup project, with the custom dialog.
The informations is something like database connection strings, and so on - so just string values.
This is my code for the "project installer" . the installer item ive added for the windows serive if you wanted to see it.
Imports System
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Configuration.Install
Imports System.ServiceProcess
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class ProjectInstaller
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
'This call is required by the Component Designer.
InitializeComponent()
My.Settings.TestSetting = Context.Parameters.Item("PathValue")
#If DEBUG Then
Dim ServicesToRun As ServiceBase()
ServicesToRun = New ServiceBase() {New tdsCheckService()}
ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun)
#Else
Dim listener As New tdsCheckService()
listener.Start()
#End If
End Sub
Public Overrides Sub Install(ByVal stateSaver As System.Collections.IDictionary)
MyBase.Install(stateSaver)
Dim regsrv As New RegistrationServices
regsrv.RegisterAssembly(MyBase.GetType().Assembly, AssemblyRegistrationFlags.SetCodeBase)
End Sub
Public Overrides Sub Uninstall(ByVal savedState As System.Collections.IDictionary)
MyBase.Uninstall(savedState)
Dim regsrv As New RegistrationServices
regsrv.UnregisterAssembly(MyBase.GetType().Assembly)
End Sub
Private Sub ServiceProcessInstaller1_AfterInstall(sender As Object, e As InstallEventArgs) Handles ServiceProcessInstaller1.AfterInstall
End Sub
Private Sub ServiceInstaller1_AfterInstall(sender As Object, e As InstallEventArgs) Handles ServiceInstaller1.AfterInstall
End Sub
End Class
You should eb able to access them using the Context object.
'Get Protected Configuration Provider name from custom action parameter
Dim variableName As String = Context.Parameters.Item("dialogSettingName")
Public Overrides Sub Install(ByVal stateSaver As System.Collections.IDictionary)
MyBase.Install(stateSaver)
