Back to Basics...
Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone could please tell me where I could go to learn the absolute basics for VB.Net which have been changed from VB6, because I cant do something so simple anymore.

The actual problem I got which is so simple is that I cant make a form visible or invisible using code.
VB Code:
```
Form1.Visible = True
Form2.Visible = False
```
Thats obviously how you would do it in VB6, but even that wont work in VB.Net now! The method used after an upgrade of a vb6 program to vb.net doesnt work either. It uses some sort of DefInstance (if thats right, cant remmeber).

Also about Unloading a form, thats changed aswell.
I dont know what parts in my books has this info so i need to ask here.

Thanks very much,

Visable works......

But if you want to hide and show a form, it's exactly like VB6. form1.hide() form2.show() (though you have to declare form2 as a new form in order to use the show() function)

For unloading, just use form.close() and I think someone here said the memory gets unallocated faster if you put the Keyword "End" in the closing event.

I have found you need to include a .ActiveForm after it, so now it goes

Form1.ActiveForm.Visible = True

unless you declare you form,

Dim Form1 As Form (somet like that)

Then you can use Form1.Visible = True

i think you can simply use
me.visible=true
istead of
Form1.ActiveForm.Visible = True

try that on another form, lol

You cant use 'me' if your starting the code from a different form or want to make a different form visible or not visible :afrog:
