I'm a little bit of a newb to .NET, but know 6.0...

[griffyboy0]

Well, I am creating a multi form application in Visual Basic .Net, and I am having some issues...

 

I created 2 forms. FormMain, and FormWiz

 

I then ran the application after placing controls on the forms, and programming them a bit.

 

My second form didn't show up!

 

At first, i was thinking that this would be like visual basic 6.0, and you just set the visible property to true when you wanted to show the form. I was stunned when there wasn't a visible property...

 

Then I went on to MSDN. They told me that this should work:

 

Dim MyNewForm As New FormWiz
MyNewForm.Show()

 

So I tried it, and wouldn't you know it, it doesn't work...

 

Then when I was scrolling through all the options after the dot after MyNewForm, I found the visible property. I set it to true:

 

MyNewForm.Visible = True

 

And ran the application... Still nothing...

 

I'm confused as to how I can set the visible property to true and false when it isn't in the properties page on the design state.

 

I'm also confused as how to show my form...

 

I'm very confused... Please Help Me...

the

Dim MyNewForm As New FormWiz
MyNewForm.Show()

 

should have worked - what happened when you tried this? Where did you call this code from(button click etc)?

[griffyboy0]

I called it from a button click...

 

When I ran the program, and clicked the button, my new form didn't show up...

 

I don't know what to do...

If that's the case, then the button click event handler probably

isn't being called. Make sure that the event handler has the

correct signature and it has the Handles statement.

 

For example, if the button was called Button1, it'd look like this:

Private Sub Button1_Click(Sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim MyNewForm As New FormWiz
MyNewForm.Show()
End Sub

this happened to me too i have no idea why .net does this - just create a new project and do the same thing and it'll work

I'll try what bucky said... I'm too far into the program to go and start a new project...

Edit: Still not working...
