I wouldn't be disapointed if this question is deleted since i know how confused I was when i wrote it. It is valuable to me but I don't know that it will help any other people. I will save a copy of the dialogue for myself.

ok, so I figured out how to make most of this work with constructors. The last question I have is where the "start here" code can be besides the form.load event.

ha, well apparently it wasn't really a question until we started talking so we're even.

I'm going to study up on this post tomorrow after I've had more sleep. Thank you for the answers, Cheers!

and on the articles I posted, I ASSumed that posting what I've looked at will help frame the question. No sure that it helped in this case.

Thank you for the references. I'll do some more digging in that area.

oh, the hint led me on. I can use the "handles mainform.load" event wherever I want to. I'm not tied to using the event in the form class.

right?

ok, I call them OOP Layers because they're listed in section 4.29 and 4.30 in the link titled: "Introduction to Object Oriented Programming Concepts (OOP) and More".

I'm trying to figure out how to separate my business layer from the forms layer (from an architectural standpoint) without relying on the user interface layer to start the application. I know what will work, but I'm more interested in the correct way to do this because procedural code "works", but it's a mess to work with.

I use the phrase administration because that's what I can think to call my application start-up sequence. I have to initialize all of my objects somehow, it just seems wrong to do that from a form.

In Visual Studio 2012 if you click new > Project the very first option is "Windows Forms Application". This response makes me think you just answered without reading the post.

If you read into layers in OOP you'll know that there's a user layer, business layer and data layer which are supposed to be kept separate for best practices. It's all in the link that I posted in my first sentence.

It's not a fruit of my fantasy, thanks for the encouragement.
