Dear Friends,



I have a C# windows application.

Using the IDE I created Form1 with a bunch of controls.  It works great.



Using the IDE, I want to add a second form (Form2) and open it with a 

button on Form1.



How do I add the second form?



Add a new Windows form to the solution?

Add a new Class?

Type the code in myself somewhere (where would you put it anyway)



I'm trying desperately to have the IDE do a lot of the work for me.  

Unfortunately, none of the $275.00 worth of C# books I bought so far show 

you how to do much via the IDE.



Thanks again

-Larry

Larry,

All you must do is create another windows form using the IDE.

That form is now a class that is accessable from the first form

Use it like the example below.



<Snippet>

//Form Declaration

Form2 myForm;

//Form instantiation

myForm =3D new Form2();

//Show Form

myForm.Show();

hi,

    To add a new form to your project through IDE, what you have to do is, 

in the solution explorer just right click. In the menu you select Add, in 

the second menu you select "Add Windows form". This will add a new form to 

your project. Now you select the added form and get the properties window. 

In the properties window there will be one field called ID. This will give 

you the instance of the newly added form. Let the ID of the new form is 

form1. Now if you wanna call the newly added form from the first form on 

the click event of the button you just write

        form1.show();

This will show you the new form.



Hope this will help you
