Forms from 6.0 to .Net

[pvbangera]

I have prepared a project in VB 6.0. Later on I upgraded it to VB .Net.

To call a form, the code 'MyForm1.show' was upgraded to 'MyForm1.DefInstance.Show()'. Now I added a new form in my .Net project.

My question is how to call the newly added form in the project. Because MyNewForm.Show or MyNewForm.DefInstance.Show method is not available.

Pls guide.

Regards,

Prakash

Are you using MDI ??

You need to create an instance of your new form,

Dim f As New MyNewForm
f.show

Hi
There is nothing to do with MDI.
In VB .NET , you need to always create an instance for that.

So , please do something like this

Dim frmnew as new FORM2

frmnew.show 'non modal

OR

frmnew.showDialogue ' modal

[Edilson]

yes, there's some diference, in MDI you have to declare the form's parent, if not when you minimize the MDI, the new form will show on the desktop.

so ...
dim f as new MyForm
f.parent=Mymdi ' ( Me )
f.show
