For starters....

Ok first question... on my journey to learning C#:

How do you diplay a new form?

For example adding the following code to a button in VB would display the new form... What is the code for C#?

Dim MyNewForm as New Form2
MyNewForm.ShowDialog()


Whats the C# equivilent?

Thanks,

Anjari

Form2 MyNewForm=new Form2();
MyNewForm.ShowDialog();

Form form1 = new Form();
form1.ShowDialog();

Doh! Here I'll add some other junk since I was to slow on the draw.

public void CreateMyForm()
{
   // Create a new instance of the form.
   Form form1 = new Form();
   // Create two buttons to use as the accept and cancel buttons.
   Button button1 = new Button ();
   Button button2 = new Button ();
  
   // Set the text of button1 to "OK".
   button1.Text = "OK";
   // Set the position of the button on the form.
   button1.Location = new Point (10, 10);
   // Set the text of button2 to "Cancel".
   button2.Text = "Cancel";
   // Set the position of the button based on the location of button1.
   button2.Location
      = new Point (button1.Left, button1.Height + button1.Top + 10);
   // Set the caption bar text of the form.   
   form1.Text = "My Dialog Box";
   // Display a help button on the form.
   form1.HelpButton = true;

   // Define the border style of the form to a dialog box.
   form1.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog;
   // Set the MaximizeBox to false to remove the maximize box.
   form1.MaximizeBox = false;
   // Set the MinimizeBox to false to remove the minimize box.
   form1.MinimizeBox = false;
   // Set the accept button of the form to button1.
   form1.AcceptButton = button1;
   // Set the cancel button of the form to button2.
   form1.CancelButton = button2;
   // Set the start position of the form to the center of the screen.
   form1.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
   
   // Add button1 to the form.
   form1.Controls.Add(button1);
   // Add button2 to the form.
   form1.Controls.Add(button2);
   
   // Display the form as a modal dialog box.
   form1.ShowDialog();
}

Thanks for your quick response but in the same aspect... how do I close the form?

Example: VB.net

me.close


this is done how in C#?

also one thing I loved about vb.net is it would add any closing statements if i skipped to the next line.. but so far i have noticed that C# hasnt for example the ();

am I doing something wrong or should i get used to adding that at the end of everthing? ();

thanks,

Anjari

C# is much more picky about what you type, for instance you may have noticed that it is case sensitive, this can be a good or bad thing it depends who you ask.

The C# version of Me is this.

this.Close();

VB closes your parentheses and such when you hit enter? Well, that isn't possible in C# as in C# statements and expressions can span several lines without any special character like _ in VB.
