[Xmen Real]

hi, i made 3 forms in vb.net 2005 , form3 set as startup form in which a combobox that contain 2 items ,1st for show form1 and 2nd for show form2. i want form3 should ask that which form will be the startup form(form1 or form2) can someone know how to do this?;)

You can't change the startup object once your app is compiled. Perhaps you need to take a different approach to explaining what you want this stuff to do?

You could do this... I'm not sure this is exactly what you're after but it's a way to set a "startup" form on first run. What you need to do is have an XML config file with a startup form setting that you read. You can then show the required form, after launching a blank, invisible startup form. The thing is, you're not actually changing the "startup" form though. You are however changing the visible form to the required, which is all the user really knows about. So what you want to do, is possible - but not in a pure sense.
