Hi, Its very simple like...

on button or link event just add this code
say you have 2 form

frmMain, frmChild
you want to call frmChild from frmMain

code will be

frmChild oChildForm=new frmChild;

oChildForm.ShowDialog();

it protect u from opening another from without close the oChildForm. if you want to open multiple form at a time use the following code.

oChildForm.Show();

!!! SHIPON !!!

I think as you are new to C#,
Use design view. and also most of time, we dont need to do it using code.
and you are not at this stage as u r newbie, to do it using code.
still u want to try then see ur form.designer.cs for more information how you can achieve it without designing the form.
