i am trying to access StudentArea.cs form and hiding the current one Index.cs. Beside the Button in index.cs i have written the following code:

this.Close();
StudentArea.Show();

i am getting the following error:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\online_exam_csharp\index.cs(118): An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property 'System.Windows.Forms.Control.Show()'

Any Idea!

you must initialize a new object with the studentarea form in the way:

StudentArea frm = new StudentArea();
frm.Show();



MAKO - "El super simio"

    the nonstatic field must be initialize a new object before used .
You referenced the nonstatic field,you must initialize a new object before used the nonstatic field .
  So the code is:
    StudentArea frm = new StudentArea();
    frm.Show();

 ABeen
  Life is not fair,get used to it .

Thanxs for all your reply. I have done it
