Multiple Forms

I have 2 forms. Form1 and Form2. When the program starts, I want Form1 to be displayed. When a button is pressed, I want Form1 to disappear and Form2 to be visible. What is the button_click code to make this happen? I am used to VB... Form1.Visible = false, Form2.Visible = true etc :)

Thanks,
Tony

Are you going to use Form1 again? Or if you do, will it be a 'new' Form1?

try form1.hide=true;

Since your application is probably using,

Application.Run(new Form1());

The most simple code is:

Hide();
new Form2().Show();

eternal,

I'll be switching between both forms. I am using Application.Run(new MainForm()); The second form I'm using is frmAdmin... I tried Hide(); frmAdmin().Show() to no avail :( Also tried MainForm.hide = true...

I added:

this.visible = false;

And that will hide Form1... now I just have to get Form2 open LOL

Sorry, I meant to explicitly declare,

public frmAdmin AdminForm
private void SwitchToAdminForm()
MainForm mainForm;
public void SwitchToMain()

all as Private, so if you want to change them they should look like:

private frmAdmin AdminForm
private void SwitchToAdminForm()
private MainForm mainForm;
private void SwitchToMain()

(Just like to keep the code consistent, will not affect operation - you can always make them public/internal later if you have a need).

Right on! Thanks a lot (again)!
