gettype returns nothing

[Boni]

Dear all,
Dim miType As Type = System.Type.GetType("System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem")

returns nothing.

Why? How can I get a Type "pointer" to System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem

Tnanks,

Boni

'Type.GetType' will look for the type in the currently executing assembly
only. You may want to use 'GetType(System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem)' instead.

Boni,

Why not as simple as this (typed here watch typos) in the load_form of your
mainform

\\\\
dim mylogin as new LoginForm
me.visible = false
if frmLogin.showdialog <> dialogresult.ok then 'or whatever
me.close
end if
me.visible = true
frmLogin.dispose
///

I hope this helps,

Cor
