Bug Alert

Description: Changing the startup form's name in a VB WinForms app does not update the "Startup form" #4517

Explanation: In the latest Visual Basic update on GitHub, Microsoft accidentally introduced a significant bug that you should be aware of. In the Visual Basic project properties dialog on one of the tabs (Application), is a drop down box for selecting the "startup object". This can be either a Main method or a System.Windows.Forms instance (or System.Windows.Window for WPF). When you do a rename on a form (say from the code editor in source or from the solution explorer) currently set as the startup form the rename doesn't cascade to the startup object project property cause the project to enter an invalid state where the user must now manually reset this project property from the now nonexistent Form to the new name. This is a huge annoyance.

The fix for the bug (until Microsoft addresses) can be found here:

  1. En bok för den som vill lära sig grunderna
    Hans Hedström, 31 augusti 2015

    En välstrukturerad bok med bra förklaringar till grundläggande begrepp inom Visual Basic. Efter att ha fått lära sig det mest väsentliga om menyer, formulär och diverse andra grundläggande begrepp får läsaren börja läsa om mer teoretiska begrepp som klasser, objekt, egenskaper och först därefter ge sig in i kodandets värld.

    Till viss del kan man jämföra med en bilskoleelev som helt saknar erfarenhet av bilkörning och först får lära sig var pedaler, instrument etc. sitter och vad de a... Läs hela recensionen
