I wasn't programming for Windows in the "good old days," but you can either put initialisation code in the constructor for a form, or within the Load event.
VS.NET actually creates an InitializeComponent() method itself, but I wouldn't mess with it. Actually, it just calls that method from the constructor anyway, so there really isn't anything special about it. Here's the order in which events are processed: Main Constructor InitializeComponent Load Layout Activated Paint Closing Closed Dispose Hopefully this will help you out.

In the good old days we had WM_INITDIALOG that seemed to be the place to write initialisation code where would I do the equivalent in WinForms? or is this just plain stupid.
