I just started on VB.Net for a weeks now, and I recently have been encountering a problem with closing form1 when I try to switch over to form2 on my window application. I want to close form1 complettely when form2 comes up. How do I go about doing this.

This is the code that I have:
I instantiate an instance of the form2 with form1 by doing this on form1 btnEnter_Click Handler.

Dim myform As Form2
myform = New Form2()

'I have a textbox with which I have a pass word validation...

Dim n As String
Try
txtValue.Text
Catch
End Try

If n = "123" Then
myForm.Show()
Else
MessageBox.Show("invalid Password","")
End If

When I Cancel out Form1, Form2 wound Disappear also...

A Beginner needs your help!
Thank You very Much

It looks like you are instantiating form2 from within form1. Therefore, when Form1 is closed, Form2 goes out of scope and is also closed. You could try declaring form2 in the sub main() and starting form1 from there. Then, from within form1, you can show form2(do not use showdialog of course). Afterwards, you should be able to close form1 without form2 also closing.

Hope this makes sense!
Good luck!

Is there a reason that you can't just hide the form using:

Me.Hide()

and showing the other form?

Okay, thanks.
