Question Cannot Declare New Form?

[Collaeral]

Hey, im kinda new at visual basic so i was wondering if you could help me..

I created a second form in my application and in the first form i wrote:

Dim frmDialog as new form2

But it does not recognize the second form. :/

I tried changing the name and i get the same result.

Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If form2 doesn't exist then you can't declare a variable as it.

That being said you should be naming your forms with a more descriptive name anyways.

OK i changed the names. it now says

Dim AceDialog as new frmAceDialog

it still doesnt work :/

I have created the form.

"doesn't work" is not a valid error description ...

When i have:

Dim AceDialog as new frmAceDialog

it says

Type "frmAceDialog" is not defined

How about you post the top 20 lines of code for the frmAceDialog

frmAceDialog:

Public Class frmAceDialog
Private Sub btnAceDialogAccept_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAceDialogAccept.Click
Me.DialogResult = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK
If radAceOnePoint.Checked Then
Dim intAcePoints As Integer = 1
ElseIf radAce11Points.Checked Then
Dim intAcePoints As Integer = 11
End If
Close()
End Sub
End Class

In case your wondering, im writing blackjack.

This isn't making any sense, try removing (not deleting) the class then re-add it and try to use it in code again?

I found out the problem... i used the wrong button when adding the form, so it didnt add correctly. Sorry Guys

heck that was what the next suggestion would'be been

but you know sometimes it happens if you declare a new form outside the event sub...
