Problem with "Startup" function in VB.Net

[Tyecom]

When you are building forms for an application, you can always go to the project's Property, Startup Form, select a form from the drop-down menu, then press F5 to review what the form will look like in real-time. However, not all of my forms are listed in the drop-down menue. Does anyone know why they are not listed?

Also, there have been times when I select a form from the "Startup" list and the form will remain the same when pressing F5, even though I have selected different forms. Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

I dont have any problem in setting the startup form. Try creating a new project, add some forms, change the startup forms and check whether the problem is still there.

Thanks. Yes it does want in a "new" project, but not in the project i'm currently working on.

Then there must be something wrong with how you setup this project. You should try to recreate it and this should fix the issue. Also, sometimes in large projects just hitting F5 won't accept all the changes because the code needs to recompile. You can do this by building the solution.

OK. I'll try building the project. I am new at programming. Can anyone tell me where I can go to get good information on programming? I don't understand a lot of the terminology being used and will like to know it.
