You have a button and you want to show a new instance of another form? If yes then:
Dim someform As New SomeForm1()
someform.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent
someform.Show()
Me.Close()
Change that:
Public formmain As Form
To:
Public formmain As Main 'or whatever your form is called
You only declared it as a form, so it wont have what your form class has.

Try something like this:
Dim reader As new IO.StreamReader("pathtofile")
Do While reader.Read()
reader.ReadLine()
If reader.Peek = 0 Then
'it was last line
End If
Loop
I dont know much about this topic but I remember reading something about jobs in a game developing company, they said that CDs are a good way to show you skills so CDs should be okay to attach to your resume.
