Run code from IDEHow can i run a bit of code straight from the IDE? Right now i make a
temporary button and put the code behind that, then i run debug mode and click on the button. Is there a way to highlight some code and tell it to run that? Is there a "scratchpad" type window like in VBA where I can write some simple code to be executed? Thanks for the help in advance In debug mode you can write and execute in immediate window

a form without having to set it as the default start up form. Maybe I am missing something When you guys want to test little things or run a little maintenece procedure, what do you do? OK, well just because you are writing a windows applications it doesent mean
you need a user interface. You can remove the form and use a sub main in a module. you can put your code in there.

I just open them as form, keep the default name and clean all with those default names up time by time. :-) Cor"Bryan" <bryanv***@gmail.com> wrote in message I put it in a button click event or in form load.news:1144489756.535106.149310@u72g2000cwu.googlegroups.com... > I wish there was a way to run a single sub or function, or even to open > a form without having to set it as the default start up form.

In fact I think its more cumbersome and has no particular advantage wrt trying out a snippet of code. Things changed with the advent of .NET and people are just going to have to get over it. In all honesty when you are writing code everyday for seven hours a day, you get better at preventing compiler or runtime failures and its not such an issue.
