Simple Question -- Switching Forms

[A. Gaubatz]

I switched from VB6 to VB.net some time ago, and I cannot figure out how
to close FormA and open FormB.

I have 2 forms "Main" and "Start". To switch it should just be:

Me.Hide
Start.Show

However, this does not work. It says that "reference to a non-shared
member requires and object reference"

Thanks,

A.,

Dim frm As New Form2

Me.Hide()
frm.Show()

You need to create an instance of "Start", as Start is a class of form, not
an instance of one,

Try this:

Dim theStart as New Start

Start.Show ()
Me.Hide ()

not an instance of one,

Try this:

Dim theStart as New Start

Start.Show ()
Me.Hide ()

one of the best features of VB.NET if you ask me.

What feature is that?
