some button in one form the other must be displayed and
viceversa. i try it but i got debugger exception. can u

Why not have a controller class that holds references to both forms?
This should work easily and keeps you forms clean:

class SingletonFormController
{
private Form FormA;
private Form FormB;

public void ShowFormA()
{
FormB.Visible = false;
FormA.Visible = true;
}
}

Cheers, Philipp

He was asking what to do when pressing buttons
and wanting to activate different forms consecutively.

How does your advice answer his query?
Perhaps you might add some more code lines
to show the solution to his problem more clearly ?

private void MyButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SingletonFormController.Instance.ShowFormA();
}

I hope you don't mind that I skipped the class declaration ;-)
