I can't find the option/way to sort the list of forms to select the startup form:
Is there a way to sort it because I have to keep changing between forms during testing, which is very difficult to find in the list because of unsorted list.

It is a known annoyance: Startup Object, Form list not alphabetical. Upvote that issue if you want it to have a chance of being fixed.

Use Sub Main so you can make the startup form anything you want. If you don't know how to write it then look at the Main() method of a C# project.

@HansPassant In Program.cs a class called Program has a Sub Mainnew Form1().Show();In VB I find the following 1. Application.myapp under the <MyApplicationData> tag <MainForm>Form2</MainForm> changes when project properties are changed.

@HansPassant 2. Application.Designer.vb (which says "do not modify it directly") there is a Partial class MyApplication containingSub OnCreateMainForm() Me.MainForm = Global.TestCode2.Form2 End Subalso changes when project project properties are changed. 3. ApplicationEvents.vb has another part of the MyApplication partial class which mentions a number of event which can be handled but not Sub Main. Where exactly would I add a Sub Main and will it change the other files that mention the start up form?
