I am working on a program and I need to click a button on the main form (we'll call it frmForm1). When I click the button on frmForm1, I want frmForm2 to appear. However when I click on the button, nothing happens. The code I used is as follows

frmForm2.Show()

I know that works with VB6, but it doesn't seem to work with .NET. Can anybody tell me what the code is to make a form appear?

Thanks in advance.

You only have the prototype of an object, in other words you only have a class. (The correct way of do this is the same .. but in VB6... you did have the shortcut you seems to use).

Dim f As frmForm2
f = New frmForm2
f.Show(...) ' f.ShowModal(...)

Remember to use a modal form. Or it goes away as it apears. ('cause the var goes out of scope).

Thanks Hackman, just tried it and it worked beautifully. I appreciate the help.

You have to creat object of form before you use it.
For Example:
Dim myForm As Form1 'Declare myForm for Form1
myForm=New Form1 'Creat form object
myForm.Show 'myForm uses method "Show" of Form
