converting from VB6 to .net

[dragonsbb16]

Hello,
I am doing a convert/rewrite from a vb6 app to a VB.net (Windows App)
I understand that there are MANY changes in the controls and properties, some things are supported any more some things are just in different places, and MS wants you to find them. I will only ask questions if i have exausted all my resourses. Here is my first one:

'Preload Main Form & Show it
'UPGRADE_ISSUE: Load statement is not supported. Click for more: 'ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/commoner/redir/redirect.htm?keyword="vbup1039"'

Load(frmMain)
frmMain.DefInstance.Show()

Obviously i have read their help file and whatnot and i cant seem to find how to do this...basically how do you "LOAD" a form?

VB.NET is now truely Object Oriented. You must think of a form as an object.

Dim frmMain as New MainForm
frmMain.Show()

Almost

i tried that frmMain.show but it give me a blue squiggly line i am calling this from within a MOD? could that be the issue?

Did you change the line:

Dim frmMain as New MainForm

To reference whatever the actual name of your form class is?

The Form is in the same project as the Module?
