.show command

[dtd646]

can't figure this out. I am trying to show one form and hide another using:

frmUpdate.Show()

frmMain.Hide()

 

I get the following error:

 

Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.

 

How do I do this??I am using visual studio.net

 

Thanks

You need to create an instance of that form:

Dim frmUpdate As New UpdateForm 'change to whatever you have as the name
'and create a new instance using the New keyword.
frmUpdate.Show() 'show the form

Your in the real world of programming now, you have to keep track of all your forms. Theres a few tutorials about, I suggest getting your teeth into one.

Real world of programming?

 

Everyone has to start somewhere, perhaps he's been in the 'real world of programming' but in a difference language. What he wrote would of worked fine in good ole VB6.

"...must form angry mob!!! they said VB6 is noddy and we aren't real programmers!!!..."

'Real World Programming'

 

The term always offends me everytime I hear someone say it. Even when I'm reading it out of a book. :(
