In VB6 there is form_load event....what's the equivalent in VB.Net. I want
to write to code to checked=true or false for some of the Check Box controls
on the form...........and I want to write this code when form loads.....

Thanks in advance!
 
Hi Sender,

The form load event still exists...

Public Sub OnFormLoad(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles MyBase.Load
...
End Sub

Select the Load event too!
Just double-click the form, like VB6.....
 
I think I am missing very basic here...but I don't know what... For
example, if I start a new project with form1 and then I open form1.vb (code
window) and select "form1" in the first list box then I don't find
"form1_load" event. However, when I double-click the form (as suggested by
you) then automatically "form1_load" comes in the second list box. Could
you please tell why is that and what I am missing..

Thanks

Use the Load event.

You can do this in the 'Load' event handler or in the constructor after
the call to 'InitializeComponent'.

On the top border of the code editor you will find 2 comboboxes. Select
"base class events" in the left combobox, then select the event in the
right combobox.

You need to drop down the to the Form1 Events entry... In other words,
in the left hand drop down, you'll see something like:

Form1
(Overrides)
(Form1 Events)

Select the From1 events, and then the right hand drop down will contain
the event list :)

Same event occurs, in the VB.NET designer just double click on the form and
the form_load event will be created for you.
