vb-> Diffrences in opening a form

[Hareth]

Ive noticed something weird recently..........
-------------------------------------------------------
in vb 2005 express...i wrote:
-------------------------------------------------------------
////////////////////////////////////
form1.show()
///////////////////////////////////
and thats it....it worked
------------------------------------------------------------
in vs.net2003 (vb)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I wrote the same but it generated errors.......I had to end up writing:
/////////////////////////////////
dim form1 as new form1
form1.show()
///////////////////////////////
Why the diffrence??
Am I missing something here?
Or am I just totaly wrong!?

I read or heard that MS reintroduced this notation. So it is by design.

ACK. This feature is called "default instances".

it's a feature of a messed up implementation of OOP that MS put back in 2005
for old VB programmers that for some reason don't like true OOP..... in
reality it takes away from true OOP programming, I wish they'd get rid of
it...
