How do you open a new Windows Form Application?

Like this: I have Form1 and Form2. When you click button1, Form2 opens up.

I tried:

Form2.ShowDialog;

and

Form2.Show

and

            Form2 f2 = new Form2();

            Form2.ShowDialog;

But none of them works.
I got this error for all of them
Error 1 Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement C:\Users\McKinlays Laptop\AppData\Local\Temporary Projects\Test System\Form1.cs 22 13 Test System

Double-Click on Button1 and type this code:

Form2.show

If you want to hide your current form type:

Me.hide
Form2.show

same error, except this time it also has this error also:Error 2 'Test_System.Form2' does not contain a definition for 'show' C:\Users\McKinlays Laptop\AppData\Local\Temporary Projects\Test System\Form1.cs 22 19 Test System

Could it be a "using" problem?

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

ShowDialog is a method, you must call it like this


Declare a new variable f2 as a Form2

Form2 f2 = new Form2;

f2.Show();

or

f2.ShowDialog();
