Popup window within Desktop App



I'm curious about the best way to display a simple popup window when
somebody chooses the MenuItem Help>About ... you know, the typical
window that pops up describing the application. About 95% of my C#
experience is web based and I've never tried this before nor thought
of it 'til now as I'm working on my first desktop app. Web searches
seem to only show me stupid web browser pop up window code examples. I
must not be putting the proper key words into google.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi,

Add a windows form to ur project and make its' form border style to tool
window.

write this in
MenuItem Help_Onclickevent
{
myForm = new MyForm();
myForm.Show();
or
MyForm.ShowDialog();
}
That's all.

Yes, that's as easy as it was :)
Thanks a lot..

It's good to see at this late hour on west coast USA that there are
some people awake on the other side of the planet (Sri Lanka?)
monitoring the group..

It's embarrasing, at times, how simple some things are after you learn
them.
