Hi all. I am currently new to coding and i have this group project with my teammates but we are currently having difficulty with trying to show form 2 when the button in form 1 is pressed. It shows an error called CS0118('Form2' is a namespace but used like a type). This is my code:

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Form2 thankyou;
            thankyou = new Form2();
            thankyou.showDialog();
        }

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
         
            var  thankyou = new Form2();
            thankyou.showDialog();
        }

I can't see you project but try the above. If it works than find out what the usage of 'var' means in c#.

Your code looks like Windows Forms, not Web Forms. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.form.showdialog?view=net-5.0 ) If you are working on a Windows Forms project (an application that runs on a Windows PC), you are in the wrong forum, but that link shows you how to do what you are trying to do.  If you are working on a Web Forms project (a website), which is what this forum is for, that code won't work.  Please clarify which type of project you are working on.
