form.show(); in c#

Question

Hi I'm new to c# -- trying to switch to a different form in a mobile app. 

 

I start with:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace SwitchFormTest

{

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void menuItem2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Form2.show();

}

}

}

 but when I try to run debugger it says "SwitchFormTest.Form2 does not contain a definition for show"

VS offer is generate a method stub on Form2 and throws in the following to the form2 code:

internal static void show()

{

throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");

 

Then when I run the debugger the app of course throws an exception there. 

 

Any advice?

 

THanks

Answer 4

your show() method does not exits for sure. because it is case sensitive. so it should be m.Show(). hope this helps

You need to create an object of that particular form, you want to open.

Like Form name is then you will code it like

CustomerDetails myform=new CustomerDetails();

myform.Show();

CustomerDetails() is the constructer of CustomerDetails. I hope you have enough knowledge of Constructors.
