Close Login Form while loading MDI Form

[prav_roy]

Hi,
I am facing small problem in vb.net 2005 window application... i have a login form which is my startup form too, when i submit proper credentials i want to open my MDI parent form and in the mean time i want my Login form to close..
i tried different methods but nothing seems to be working..

Dim mdi As New Mdiformname
mdi.Show() //loading Mdi Form
Me.Close() // Close Login Form
Me.Dispose() //Alternative method i used

can anybody guide me in this regard

Regards
Praveen

Set the main form as startup form. In Application Startup event you show the login form as dialog and use e.Cancel to stop application from starting if login fails.

could you plz give me an example of that...

 

[JohnH]

Private Sub MyApplication_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, _
   ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.StartupEventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
       If loginform.ShowDialog <> DialogResult.OK Then e.Cancel = True
End Sub

You get to the Application Events from main menu Project Properties, Application tab, click "View Application Events" button.
In Login form you set DialogResult=OK if login is ok.
