How Can I Show a Windows form by clicking a Button

[talukdarmanoj]

I used the following code to diaplay the Form2 by Clicking a Button of Form1 both are childform but it does not work, anyone can help me ?

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Dim frm As New Form2
        frm.MdiParent = MDIParentMain
        frm.Show()

    End Sub

What do you mean "does not work"? Is there an error or doesn't anything happen?

 

[talukdarmanoj]

it doesn't anything happen means not show the form

Then it must be your MDIParentMain reference that is wrong. It sounds as you are referring to a default form, when the parent perhaps isn't the default form? Anyway a quickfix is to just refer to the same mdiparent your current child have:
frm.MdiParent = me.MdiParent
