Show/Close a form

Why oh why has MS changed so much in VB.NET

I can't even figure out how to show/close a form as formname.show() doesnt
work and
the following doesn't either:

formname.active form.close() (or show) doesn't seem to work but will compile.

Thanks,
Adam H.

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

Showing a form modally:

\\\
Dim f As New FooForm()
f.ShowDialog()
f.Dispose()
///

Inside a form, use 'Me.Close()' to close the form. From outside the form
you can call the 'Close' method of the form instance in order to close it.

I read an earlier post from Gary and answered by Peter Huang concerning closing one form and showing another. I need to do the same thing in my application, but the code Peter gave didn't work for me. Maybe Peter or someone else can help me out. I changed the startup object to Sub Main, created a new module and inserted this code: Imports System.Windows.Forms

I have public methods in a form. The main form calls them, to update that form's display. This form is like a real-time view of data that is changing. But, the form may not exist (it is created / destroyed at user request). I can check form != null to prevent incorrect access. But, the form could disappear immediately after the check, before the method is run. Or someone could click 'close' when it's in the middle of an update. ...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
