New to VB Net 2003 - HELP!

[thhynes]

Greetings,

First of all before I ask this question I have searched books, the web, and help with in VB to no avail. I did take a course in Visual Basic about 7 years ago and forgot everything...well kind of

Okay my question....

I have a form and a button when the user presses the button I want form1 to disapear and form2 to appear

The code that I have is the following

Form1.hide()
Form2.show() or

Form1.Visible = False
Form2.Visible=True
However I get an error which is

Refrence to a non-shared member requires an object refrence

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Tom

dim f2 as new form2
me.hide()
f2.showdialog
me.show()

Note: by using showdialog the sub stops untill the dialog window is closed, thus when form2 is closed form1 will be unhiden.

Hi TPM, I am now taking a class for VB.NET and I was wondering if you could help me out once more....but I want to see if I understand this corretly so bear with me...I'll try to write this as code with explination

' declare new variable

dim f2 as new form2

'hide first form
hide.me() -- this HIDES the first form
f2.showdialog -- I am not sure what this does
me.show -- this shows the 2nd form page

now if I wanted to go backwards do I need to do this? I am just trying to find an easy way to open and close and recall different forms as needed...

dim f1 as new form1
hide().me
f1.showdialog
me.show

The text book and the instructor are just terrible...

signed...not to frustrated anymore

myForm.ShowDialog shows form as dialog and you need to close dialog before you continue to work on main form.

You allways have to declare form as Dim myForm As FormName

Adn you show and hide it using methods: show, hide
