Opening a window and then closing self

[UJ]

I am trying to do a login screen and can't figure out how to get the new
window to open after I have verified the user info. I tried the following:

dim win_Main as MainWindow

win_Main = new MainWindow
Main.Show()
me.close()

but as expected, everything closes down. There must be an easy way to do
this that I just don't know about. I also am going to need to transfer
things to the new window (like the username, privs, ...) any help would be
appreciated.

TIA

UJ.

Public Module Program
Public Sub Main()
Dim f As New Form1()
f.Show()
Application.Run()
End Sub
End Module
///

In the project properties, select 'Sub Main' as startup object. Place the
code below in a button's 'Click' event handler:

\\\
Dim f2 As New Form2()
f2.Show()
Me.Close()
///

You can exit the application by calling 'Application.ExitThread'. Take a
look at the 'ApplicationContext' class too.

UJ,

The most simple thing for answers on this is seaching the newsgroups in
Google, your question is asked 1000 times at least.

The in my opinion most simple approach

In the load event of your main form.
\\\
dim frm as new LoginForm
frm.showdialog
loginname = frm.loginname 'where loginname is a public property or field in
LoginForm
password = frm.password 'see above
frm.dispose
///
I hope this helps?

Might be too basic for you - but this might be of some assitance as well:
