Close one form, Show the other! [resolved... blah]

[mendhak]

I know this has to be the world's easiest VB.NET question!

Here's what I want: Show form1. Press the button on Form1, and form2 should show up. Form1 should then close.

Here's what I did

In a module:

Module Module1
    Public f1 As New Form1
    Public f2 As New Form2
 
    Sub Main()
        f1.ShowDialog()
    End Sub
 
  
End Module

In form1's button:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        f1.Close()
        f2.Show()
 
 
 
    End Sub

And that's it!

Now when I click the button, form2 appears briefly and then disappears.

Surely it has to be something simple. What am I missing?

f1 needs to be closed, so I cannot let it stay in memory.

Module Module1
    Public Sub Main()
 
        Dim MyForm As Form 'early-binding good :)
 
        MyForm = New Form1
        MyForm.ShowDialog()
 
        'wait until form1 closes
        MyForm = New Form2 'this kills the form1 instance
        MyForm.ShowDialog()
 
    End Sub
End Module
 
'in form 1's button
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Me.Close()
End Sub

I think its about time the "Late-Binding Demon" payed mendhak a visit, don't you kids? What a naughty froggy!.
