[ThePentiumGuy]

in vb.NET, im trying to close form1 and open form2

 

under button1.click

Me.Close

 

but there is no:

form2.open

or

form2.show

 

its odd..

i tried

form2.activeform.show

but it gives an error !?

this is weird

[ThePentiumGuy]

i added a form by right clicking form1 in the solution explorer and add|add windows form

 

i looked at other replies and they said,

form2.show

me.hide

but THAT Doesnt work!!

[ThePentiumGuy]

But anyway... now in VB.NET everything is treated as an object, so you need to create an instance of the object first

 

Dim xx as Form1 = New Form1 or Dim xx as New Form1

 

Then you can call it

 

xx.Show()
