showing a form

[gordon]

Hi,

I am learning vb.net and am trying to move between forms in a windows
application that I am writing. The following code is what I am using to
call up a form called 'Scores' from the start-up form called names. Scores
has a label and a text box and two buttons that move either back to the
first form or move to the third form. When I run this, it brings up a blank
form (ie without any buttons or boxes).

Could someone please let me know what I may be doing wrong. Does the ' dim
scores as new form' create a blank form? Can I just use 'dim scores as
form' instead?

Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, byVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click

Dim Scores As New Form

Scores.Show()

Me.Hide()

End Sub

thanks for your kind assistance

Doug

Your problem is with the line:
Dim Scores As New Form
This is declaring "Scores" as being a new blank form.

Try this:
Dim Scores As New Scores
Where the last "Scores" is the object type of the form you want to display.
