How to switch between Forms in c# Windows Desktop Programming

[ronaldwisnuhariyanto]

Hallo All,

I just wondered how can I switch form form example from From1 to From2 ?
In VB there My.Forms.Form2.Show(), but I can't find anything that similar to this.
Thanks for any info on this

Have you looked at the specifications of the Form class to see what methods are available?
P.S Always refuse to write any code if you don't have the specs with you.

I've searched all the property and the methods, in form class but there is nothing I can use tho swap between the Forms.
I think I should create 1 Main Form, create other Forms in that, and do all the things with the Main Form. It not as convenient as in VB but it works.
I think VB is still the leader for desktop programming.

Thanks by the way !

Sorry for my ignorance towards VB .Net.
However the debate on which programming language is better should be left to the other forums, or when you have nothing else to do and have to pass your time.

Anyways.....
I searched online and found that My is basically a wrapper to wrap certain methods in some other namespaces together and eeasier access.

To get a list of all open forms use the System.Windows.Forms.OpenForms
which will return a list of forms opened.

you will have to then check the form you want to focus

Read your post again. The impression I got from that is that you are looking for a Show method in C#.
Anyway if your problem is on how to switch between different forms, the read this thread.
