Parent Form to call child form

[Guest]

How do I open a child form in my parent form. I enter the child form name
but there is no show method in the intelli-sense.

How do I open a child form in my parent form. I enter the child form name

but there is no show method in the intelli-sense.

In VB 6, you would do this:

frmChild.Show

But in VB.NET, you have to create an instance of your child form first:

Dim f As New frmChild()
f.Show()

If you want to show your child form modally:

Dim f As New frmChild()
f.ShowDialog()

Dim f As New FooForm()
f.Show()

In VB 2005:

\\\
My.Forms.FooForm.Show()
