Initial Event in Windows Console

Question

I'm creating a Windows Console application written in VB.NET and I have a few processes that need to be called only once during the lifetime of the application. If it was an ASP.NET application, I put these in the Appliction_Start method of the Global.asax.vb file. Since there isn't a Global.asax.vb for Console applications, is there an event I could handle that allows me to call my functions before Main is called?

Answer 1

Is there a problem with just calling them first in main?

Answer 2

Main is the first method where you can grab the needed information / inizialize global stuff. Why would you need an earlier point? The only thing that is different to Application_Start is that no other method is called automatically (unlike in a web application where the site is opened and the code executed).
